We received this phish today morning. If looked closely, you can find the phishing signs easily. Here are the signs:
- Sender posing to be ‘Help Desk’, but email address is external.
- Generic salutation.
- The link is external, find out by hovering over the link, hidden behind ‘uvic.ca’ but it is actually an external link. The domain name is created to confuse the recipients as it is ‘uvicca3’ (not uvic.ca). Always pay close attention to the domain name.
- Vague signature. Not legit helpdesk signature.
Always think and look for phishing signs as those mostly are easy to spot. Do not be hasty in taking the actions recommended in the phish email.
