The message below is a legitimate message from the Athletic Department.

This is a legitimate message regarding open enrollment.

We recently received a report of spear-phishing from the treasurer of a student organization on campus. Spear-phishing is different from regular phishing because it is targeted at either a single or a small set of users. In this case, the attacker sent emails to the treasurer with the name of the president in the From: field and in the signature. These details were likely obtained from a public facing website with names of the organization's officers. Although most phishing messages are low-effort and easy to spot, it is important to be wary of more advanced phishing messages that may include more personal details, or be more carefully crafted to match emails you expect to receive.
