A screenshot of another phish that is circulating today is shown below. It tries to persuade you to click on a link to prevent your password from expiring. The recipient email is quoted in the subject and then also in the email body.
Remember: Whenever you receive a suspicious email that sounds plausible, never click any link that’s inside that email and do not call phone numbers listed in the email. Instead find the proper links or phone numbers by other means.
This phish is far from plausible. Currently UVic passwords do not expire. The sender is clearly external and the link is clearly external – you can see it by hovering over it with the mouse cursor. It leads to a fake UVic page – a perfect copy of the real home page of UVic. The goal of course is to steal your credentials.
Please do not be curious and do not click on these links, sometimes they may contain malware to infect your computer instantly. Our experts open them in specialized isolated environment.
