Tips for Detection:

• References systems that we do not utilize (e.g. Escape, Infinite Campus)
• Link to gateway is not a Puget Sound website
• Sender is not from @pugetsound.edu or Technology Services
• Actual system outages are normally communicated on our TS Maintenance Blog

Text of Phishing Message:

Colleagues:

Please be advised that we are experiencing intermittent disruptions to services and resources across the district. Technology Services is working to restore functionality as quickly as possible.

At this time, Escape, Infinite Campus and all Google services (e.g., Drive, Docs, Sheets, Classroom, etc.) are fully operational.

Please login to GATEWAY [link removed] so we can automatically work on your webmail. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Contact the Technology Services Support Desk with any questions.

Thank you,

Technology Services
