“Mailbox Quota Warning” phish

Another phish was received by a number of UVic recipients today. It uses the usual tactics – to scary the recipient that something is wrong and the victim needs to fix it. In this case the subject is “UVic Mailbox Quota Warning” and the email claims several messages were pending because the mailbox was full. (see the screenshot below). When the victim clicks on the link a fake Outlook Web Access (OWA) page opens. All designed to steal your UVic credentials.
As we always remind you – please do not be curious and do not click on such links – they may contain other malicious content so that just opening them “for a quick glimpse”  may be dangerous.
Note that they added their own message (the green bar) to fool you that the email originated from UVic.
