Members of the Mount Royal community are receiving emails that look an awful lot like they come from the ITS Service Desk.  Problem is, they aren’t.  The clever criminals are even shameless enough to hide their malicious link in an email that looks like it is trying to prevent cyber crime.  Here is what to look for:

Of course if you click on the link, some nice nasty malware gets loaded onto your system. If this email shows up in  your inbox, do not click on any of the links and delete it immediately.

The criminals are getting smarter and smarter and are starting to make fewer and fewer mistakes. Remember, before you click on a link in an email, or open an email attachment contact the sender and verify that the email is legitimate.
