Latest phishing scam seen at UD. Click image to see full size.
This is not the most dangerous phishing scam we’ve seen lately, but multiple people have reported seeing it swim into their UD inboxes this afternoon. And all it takes is one person to click the link, and disaster could follow–at least for that person!
This phish contains the standard threat that your “Mail account will be permanently terminated in a short time” to get you to click without thinking.
Fortunately, there are enough grammar mistakes that this phish is pretty easy to identify. And, although UD is very inclusive of diversity, official email from UD is not going to include a non-English statement about the email program being used. (We noted that tell-tale sign in a phish back in February, too.)
And even though the email claims to come from “admin@udel.edu,” you can see its sender is identified as an email address in Brazil.
And look at that lame attempt to get UD people to click the bogus site at the weebly.com hosting site: the scammer strings together cas, nss, udel, edu, and cas (again) to trick you.
If you see a message like this one, just delete it.
