This phish is circulating today. The link leads to a very precise copy of the real UVic login page, stored by malicious actors on some external server. As usual the goal is to steal your UVic credentials.

If you hover with the mouse cursor over the link without clicking you can clearly see the address of the fake page is not on uvic.ca.
