Security Tip: If you are not expecting a shared document from Google Drive or Dropbox or Office 365 from outside the organization, use caution. If you are sharing a document using cloud services, also notify the recipient by another means of communication.
Tips for Detection:
- Sending address is @hotmail.com
- Many phishing emails attempt to impersonate the provost or academic department chairs
- The link does in fact lead to a legitimate document stored on Office 365, but the document asks the user to click another link to a malicious site (not shown)
