Safe Message

Description:

This is an invitation to join a Microsoft program that partners with the Georgia Tech College of Computing. The link goes to "onthehub.com" which is an academic software retailer and on login you will be presented with a login page that is the actually GT login page at "https://login.gatech.edu". This isn't a phishing message, but it's very hard to distinguish from one. If you get this and want to use this program, make sure that the link really goes to "onthehub.com" and always make sure any login page for Georgia Tech is "login.gatech.edu" before logging in.

Notes:

The emails listed on this site are only those that are reported to GT Cyber Security as phishing. You may likely receive phishing email messages that are not listed here; you should learn to identify phish emails and how to report them to GT Cyber Security (see links above).
You may recieve a phishing message whose text matches an example listed here, but has a different web link (that is a different phishing URL). Phishers will sometimes send out the same message to different email addresses, varying the url between a set of different phishing URLs.
