Original Phishing Message
Tips for Detection
- Note the sense of urgency (e.g. 6 hours, final deadline).
- The generic message (e.g. All EDU users) should be suspicious.
- Hovering over the link does not take you to a University of Puget Sound website. Always use caution before clicking on links in emails.
- Legitimate messages from Technology Services regarding password expiration will be sent 14 days prior.
