An image of a letter being caught by a fishing pole with the text "Gone Phishing"
Why this looks valid
The email appears to be from a Marist user, or a colleague from another institution
Why this is a virus
- The attachment is an excel file, which is a common way to send infected files
- There is not much information in the body of the email, including no specific salutation or greeting to the recipient
- Grammar errors, spelling errors, and generic salutations and sign-offs are usually indicative of a suspicious email
Additional notes
- A phone call to the alleged sender would quickly verify if this is a legitimate email. It only takes a few minutes to pick up the phone!
- Report it to Microsoft. In Outlook on the Web, click the Junk menu, and select Phishing
- Unsolicited attachments in email are a very common method of spreading malware and viruses. Always be suspicious of unsoliciated emails with attachments
- Did you know: Microsoft OneDrive can scan files for malicious content. It is a good practice to look at attachments first using the Outlook Web client in preview mode. However, it is still safest to report it to phishing@marist.edu for a consult from our cybersecurity team
