FACULTY EVALUATION [phish via Google Docs and SharePoint Online]

Legitimate cloud file sharing services like Google Docs and Microsoft SharePoint Online are frequently abused by phishers. The examples below attempted to impersonate one of UVic’s deans in an attempt to make the phish look legitimate, but note the errors in capitalization and grammar in the document description.

Version sent via Google Docs:

Version sent via SharePoint Online:

Both versions lead to a file with a Google Docs logo and instructions to click another link to view the real contents (which is a red flag as well). That link goes to a phishing page on Google Forms. Never enter login credentials on Google Forms or other free web form builders; no genuine login page would ever be hosted there.

Update 2022-01-19: there is also a version from SharePoint Online that impersonates President Kevin Hall.
