Latest Phishing Scam – 01/06/17

 

There is a phishing attack going on you need to know about. This latest attack is an email with the subject Assessment document. The email states that the attachment is  locked and asks you to click on the link PDF Secure File UNLOCK to Access File Content to unlock it. If you click the link to unlock the document, a dialog box comes up that asks you to enter your email address and password. Of course, if you do the information is sent to the hackers.

If an email like that makes it into your inbox, do not click on anything, and definitely do not enter your email address and password. If you are at work, contact the Service Desk at 403-440-6000.  If you are at home, delete the email.
Remember, Stop and Think Before You Click!
