Spear phishing alert - subject line "New Message For You."


PLEASE DELETE


Good afternoon everyone,

We have posted a spear phish that contains the following text:

From: UAlert [EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED]
Subject: New Message For You.

[EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED],
You have 2 new messages from your Faculty, view log sheet below;
Continue_Here: [URL REMOVED]
Best Regards
UA Mail Management.

One of our Liaisons was able to provide us with a screenshot that appears when the link in the email is clicked:

As you can see, it could easily fool many of us.

Please let your departments know that this email is circulating.  We have posted it to both our alerts and social media, but wanted to take an extra step of alerting campus of this scam.

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes,
Teresa
