Original Phishing Message

NOTE: If you received this message, please delete it and DO NOT click on any links. The email is NOT legitimate and does not originate from Technology Services.

Tips for Detection

• Notice the maroon caution banner prepended to the message. This banner is added on messages that match patterns of other phishing attempts.
• The email is not sent from an @pugetsound.edu address.
• Notice the stretched out university logo.
• Though the hyperlinked text appears to be for a pugetsound.edu site, hovering over the link reveals that the true destination goes to the URL ubsdskillindia[.]com/wp-content/pugetsound.edu/page/.
• Technology Services will not ask you to click a link to “avoid login interruption.”
