"Password Notification" Scam
Email with bogus link wants to steal your password
This morning DoIT has received several reports of a password change scam that has been going around campus:
From: ti93943@wildblue.net Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2020 9:45 AM Subject: Password Notification To: < @umbc.edu>-- Dear Member, Your UMBC webmail password will expire today. Visit the maintenance portal below to automatically renew your university password. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IT Helpdesk | University of Maryland, Baltimore County. |
If you have received this or a similar email, please do not respond or click on the provided URL. Either one of those actions only shows the malicious actor that they have a valid, active email address. Please forward the message (with the email headers) to security@umbc.edu, and delete the message.
