Phishing - when people in a large organization, like NSCC, are targeted through email to reveal personal information
How to Spot Phishing
- Is it too good to be true? Then it is likely false.
- Watch out for offers like job opportunities to work from home for few hours and a high pay.
- Look at the email address.
- Does the sender's email address fit with the message you were sent?
- Student accounts would not be used to send emails about password resets, job opportunities, account closures, etc...
- Asking for personal information?
- NSCC would not ask for personal information through this type of email.
- NSCC would NEVER ask for a password.
- NSCC does not use Google Forms.
What to do?
The best defence is Multi Factor Authentication (MFA).
