Importance: High

Good afternoon,

The Information Security Office has received reports of a new phishing campaign, where recipients are asked to click on a link in order to open a shared Google doc.  Several of our IT Security Managers have shared news articles about this particularly troublesome issue.

Several members of the UA community have reported the phish to our office, and we have a sample posted at https://security.arizona.edu/phishing-alerts/5317-tara-napoleone-has-shared-dcommission-lgbtqa-advising-and-advocacy.

Please share this information with your departments.

Thanks for your help!
