Original Phishing Message

Tips for Detection

  • Though the message was sent using Google Drive document sharing, use caution if you do not recognize the sender or the sender is outside your organization.
  • Notice the mismatch between the sender (e.g. Adam Hille) versus the name mentioned in the sharing note (e.g. President ISIAAH CRAWFORD) versus the title of the document (e.g. IT SUPPORT/HELP-DESK). This should be suspicious.

Where Did the Link Lead?

The link led to a PDF stored on Google Drive containing another link to a Google Form that asked for your password. Never enter your credentials or sensitive personal information on online forms.
