Original Phishing Message

Tips for Detection

  • This sender is an individual from outside the university — note the sending address.
  • Legitimate notices about password expiration will begin 14 days prior to the impending password expiration.
  • You will never be asked to click on a link to keep your password. Hovering over the link reveals that it leads to http://ee[.]bzhu1[.]francoradiooldies[.]com which is not a Puget Sound website.
  • Remember – do not share your credentials with anybody or enter it on online forms.
