The Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) would like to bring to your immediate attention a confirmed phishing email that has been circulating within our community. The email in question has the subject line: “PART-TIME ADMIN/ASSISTANT OPPORTUNITY!!” and appears to come from a faculty member.
Please be advised that this email is a phishing attempt designed to deceive recipients into divulging one’s financial information.
If you receive an email with this subject line, do not open it, click any links, or download any attachments. Instead, please take the following actions immediately:
- Click the red fish button on your Outlook ribbon.
- Click the Report button to notify our ITS department.
If you responded to the bogus email you may have received a follow-on call from an actor identifying himself as Dorin Morgos, subsequently inquiring about your financial institution and account information as part of the hiring ruse. DO NOT provide any financial information as this is not a legitimate job offer.
Please contact your Information Security Officer immediately for further assistance if you believe you have been victimized by this phishing campaign.
Your prompt action will help us to mitigate any potential risks and protect our organization’s data and security.
