A usual scary tactic phish observed this morning. Pretending to be coming from UVic computer helpdesk but the sender email address is external. If you hover over the link you would find that the link is actually external, which will never be the case if the email was from helpdesk.
It creates a sense of urgency that your account is deactivated which you can activate by going to the link provided by the phisher. Always think before being hasty in such situations. Look for phishing signs which are generally easy to spot if thought out in a logical manner. Whenever in doubt, reach out to helpdesk or your DSS support directly for better guidance.
