[CCoE Notice] FW: UH Email Sign-in Alert

[Luong, Kiet A]

Good afternoon,

The email below is another phishing attempt.  The “From” email address is not from a U of H email address, followed by the “Click Here” link that shows an external website when hovering the cursor over the link (without clicking on it).

The UH logo and the email signature are legitimate, but were copied from a UH source to try to trick folks into believing that it is.  Thank you for all of those who forwarded this email to me and asked before clicking on the malicious link.
