Original Phishing Message

Tips for Detection

  • Notice the “Caution” banner pre-pended to the message. Technology Services adds this banner to messages that match patterns of previous phishing emails.
  • Beware of .htm or .html attachments as they usually open a webpage designed to trick you into entering your credentials which will then be sent to the attacker.
  • Double check the sender’s email address and do not reply, open attachments, or click links if you are unsure who the sender is.
