Tips for Detection

  • Note the caution banner prepended to the message. Emails that match patterns of other phishing attempts will have this maroon banner.
  • Always hover over links before clicking them to determine if they lead to trusted sites.
  • Use caution when replying, clicking links, or opening attachments when receiving unexpected emails. If you know the individual but the email feels off, reach out to them via an alternate means of contact.

Where did the Link Lead?

The link led to a phishing site l5z55k[.]axshare[.]com designed to appear like a document sharing page.
