SECURITY ALERT: New phishing scam mixing document transmission, account security

Published

CSIT is receiving reports of a new phishing scam which combines elements of two previous scams.  The new phishing scam appears to be widely distributed to 香港六合彩资料大全 mailboxes.

The phishing message originates from a compromised 香港六合彩资料大全 account and, so, may appear somewhat more legitimate.  The subject line of the scam message is 鈥淒ocument Pending鈥 and the body of the message claims that the recipient鈥檚 incoming email and documents have been 鈥減laced on hold鈥 due to 鈥渞esent spam activities.鈥  The message provides an embedded link with the label 鈥淰erify Now鈥 and encourages the recipient to follow the link to verify their account.  It is signed 鈥淣EBRWESLEYANweb-services.鈥

The link leads to a fraudulent web page presenting itself as affiliated with 香港六合彩资料大全 and prompting of a logon using your 鈥淲eb Express鈥 credentials.  If you have already followed this link in the message AND entered your 香港六合彩资料大全 account credentials, then you have compromised the security of your 香港六合彩资料大全 account. 

Should you received such a message in your 香港六合彩资料大全 mailbox, please delete it and do not follow the embedded URL.  Please change your account passwords immediately.  Contact  the CSIT helpdesk (Smith-Curtis 109) or x7777 if you need assistance.
