Tips for Detection

• Though the email address was spoofed to appear like an @pugetsound.edu address, notice the “Caution” banner appended to the message. If you see this banner, the email originates from outside the University of Puget Sound. Therefore, the mismatch should raise a red flag.
• When you reply to an email, notice if the reply-to address does not match the sender email address.
• If asked for information about students, please remember the regulations regarding FERPA. For more information about FERPA, please see https://www.pugetsound.edu/ferpa-tutorial.
