[CCoE Notice] FW: Urgent student and staffs Account Update !!!

[Luong, Kiet A]

Good afternoon,

Many of us had just received this phishing email or something similar.  Here's a brief analysis that I hoped everyone also went through on your own:

-Email is very generic and doesn't seem to address anyone in particular
-Even though it is from a UH employee, the link in the email is pointing to a non-UH website, so it's an obvious red flag.
-This person is not in the IT Security group so shouldn't be warning us about someone logging into our email accounts.  Another red flag.
-Any emails asking us to click on a link then enter our account information should be an automatic red flag

Please delete or forward to abuse at uh.edu<mailto:abuse at uh.edu> to report if any additional suspicious emails show up in your Inboxes.  If the suspicious email is obvious, then you don't need to report it.

Thanks,

Kiet Luong
