ITS Help-desk

The phisher seems to have used a compromised account at a public institution in the UK to send this phishing email. Like many other phishing emails, it uses a threat to try to get you to act hastily and click on that link. Pause and look closely before you click! If you hover over the “University of Victoria” link, you will find that it actually goes to Cognito Forms. Presumably this is a free web form builder; as mentioned in the previous post, such services are frequently abused by phishers and no real UVic login page would be hosted on them.

If you clicked on this link, contact your department’s IT support staff or the Computer Help Desk immediately.
