The IT Support Centre has received several calls today concerning the latest phishing attempt. Currently, no one has reported clicking on the phishing link contained in the email and entering their Queen's credentials.

The current phishing email is typical of the examples available on the ITS website.
http://www.queensu.ca/its/security/education-awareness/phishing/phishing-samples

The from address is clearly from an external email.
The email is not expected by the user.
The subject line tries to entice the users interest. " IT Operations and Support Desk" and "ICT Desk Service"
The link, when hovered over, provided in the email is clearly not for a Queen's website and is not secure.

If you are having trouble in determining whether an email is legitimate, please contact the IT Support Desk, otherwise, please delete the message.
