PHISHING: Mail upgrade notification

Why this looks valid

  • The email appears to be from Marist College
  • The email contains small details that make it seem legitimate

Why this is phishing

  • The link does not go to a Marist College website or service
  • Marist IT would never require a user to update their own email features

Additional notes

  • This is an extremely dangerous phishing attempt. If you clicked on the link and filled in your personal information, please contact the Help Desk immediately at x4357 (HELP) or helpdesk@marist.edu .
  • Remember:  always check the link.  You can hover over the link in the email to ensure that it goes to the service referenced in the email.
  • Report this message to Microsoft. In Outlook on the Web, click the Junk menu, and select Phishing.
  • A little paranoia goes a long way! Be suspicious of any email messages similar to this one.
