As we were enjoying our weekend, phishers were busy phishing.
Sunday morning we received large amount of phish, around 1K recipients. Telltale signs of this phish are: outside sender pretending to be UVic finance payments, no greetings let alone generic one, random attachment. The phisher was very thoughtful and has given the disclaimer at the bottom that it is the responsibility of the recipient if the attachment has virus and it affects your system.
Please be advised never be curious to open attachments if you were not expecting one.
The attachment is a fake PDF document asking for your credentials to open it. Hence, this email was to phish for your credentials.
This attachment was opened by Information Security Office in an isolated environment. Please never try to open any email attachments it can affect your system and UVic network.
