Tips for Detection

  • Notice the “Caution” banner prepended to the message. This indicates that the email matches patterns of previous phishing attempts. Always use extra caution if you see this banner.
  • Beware of cloud file sharing links that you are not expecting especially if the file name has an extremely generic title like “docx”.
  • Notice the discrepancy between the text in the body of the message claiming that “Isiaah Crawford Shared a file” versus the actual sender being “Melissa Barna”
