Why this looks valid

• The email appears to be from a Marist user or a colleague
• Marist IT sends similar emails when account passwords are expiring
• The link goes to a site that includes details such as a Marist College logo and a user's email address

Why this is phishing

• The link does not go to a Marist website or known college service
• Awkward sentence construction and typos are good indicators of malicious emails
• Marist College will never allow users to keep their current password - expired passwords must be changed
