This email below has been confirmed as malicious or fraudulent by the Information Security department. If you have received this phishing email, do not open any attachments or follow the link(s) in the message; simply delete the email.
The email pretends to be from a Microsoft 365 support team, warning the recipient about their password expiring the same day. It prompts the recipient to maintain access by clicking on a suspicious link. The sender attempts to create urgency to trick the user into acting without verifying the email’s authenticity.
Red Flags:
- Suspicious Sender Address: The email is sent from “pauline@mattinsonwhite.ca,” which does not match any official Microsoft or institutional address.
- Urgency: The email pressures the recipient to act immediately by claiming the password expires today.
- Suspicious Link: The “KEEP SAME ACCESS” button contains a malicious link.
