  • How to Handle Phishing Scams

    What is Phishing, and how does it work?
    Phishing scams are fraudulent communications that appear to come from a legitimate source, such as a co-worker, manager, service provider, or bank. The most frequent goal of this scam is to extract private information, such as account credentials, or to achieve some financial gain.

    What are common indicators of phishing attempts?
    Suspicious sender’s address. The sender's address may imitate a legitimate business. Cybercriminals often use an email address that closely resembles one from a reputable company by altering or omitting a few characters.
    Generic greetings and signature. A generic greeting—such as “Dear Valued Customer” or “Sir/Ma’am”—and a lack of contact information in the signature block are strong indicators of a phishing email.
    Spoofed hyperlinks and websites. If you hover your cursor over any links in the body of the email, and the links do not match the text that appears when hovering over them, the link may be spoofed. Malicious websites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com vs. .net).
    Spelling and layout. Poor grammar and sentence structure, misspellings, and inconsistent formatting are other indicators of a possible phishing attempt.
    Suspicious attachments. An unsolicited email requesting a user download and open an attachment is a standard delivery mechanism for malware.


    Catholic University Phishing Attempts
    Please look at examples of phishing email messages that the Catholic University community has received.
    https://sites.google.com/cua.edu/ts-infosec-intra/menu/recent-phishing

    What can you do?
    Carefully review messages (email, chat, text) you receive, especially if:
    The sender's email address is suspect. For example, the sender's name is someone who works at CatholicU, but their email address is from outside the university.
    The message uses personal, public information about you to lure a response. (Example, "Chris, as a Residence Life professional...")
    The message seems designed to create urgency and fear. (Example: "Your access will end unless you renew today!").
    The message contains a link and would encourage you to use it. (Example: "Click here to renew.")
    The message asks you to send money, buy gift cards, or reveal your personal information.
    Trust your instincts! If it seems wrong, it probably is.

    What to do when I fall victim to Phishing?
