SECURITY ALERT: Shared document phishing scam.

Published

We may be working under changed circumstances, but the phishing scams continue as usual.

CSIT has received several reports this morning of a new phishing scam reaching SM论坛 mailboxes.  This phishing scam appears to originate from 鈥淚T Mail Serv.鈥, but uses a Hotmail address.  The Subject line is 鈥淚T Mail Serv. shared "I shared Latest School-Transcript Update" with you.鈥   The body of the message offers a link to what is styled as a shared Word document, presented beneath a reference to the name and office location of the SM论坛 Provost.

Were you to follow the link (which we do NOT advise) it would take you to an intermediate site which asks you to click on the document icon to view or edit your shared document.  That link offers another page where you would be prompted to enter your SM论坛 account credentials.

Should you receive a message matching this description, please delete it from your mailbox.  It is a scam designed to compromise your SM论坛 account.  If you have received the message and already followed the link AND entered your account credentials, please notify CSIT at 402-465-2341 or 402-465-7777 and change your password immediately.  Links to changing your password are available on the CSIT home page at https://csit.nebrwesleyan.edu .

Thank you all for your continuing caution handling your email,
