Outlook upgrades and migrations are a popular theme for phishes. Here are some red flags that you can use to conclude that this email is a phish:

  • The sender is not from UVic
  • The message instills a false sense of urgency and threatens you with an adverse impact
  • There are some (relatively subtle) issues with capitalization, punctuation and grammar
  • The signature is very generic and does not mention UVic
  • Hovering over the link will show that the URL does not go to UVic or Microsoft
