Phishing scam reported on campus

The WSU Information Security Office sent out an email alert on Friday notifying students of phishing scam attempts that had been made through campus emails ending in @weber.edu.

The alert said that the emails had multiple different subject lines, but all of the emails claimed to be sharing a Google Doc through a shortened URL. The link leads to a false website that contains malware and also asks for the person’s username and password.

The Information Security office says that anyone who clicked on the link should scan their computer for viruses, and anyone who entered their password into the website should immediately change it.
