PHISHING: Completed: Settlement: #3 - Marist

Why this looks valid

  • The email may appear to come from a ÃÛÔÂÖ±²¥ colleague
  • The email uses the same email format and language as a legitimate Docusign notification
  • Requests to e-sign documents is very common

Why this is phishing

  • The QR code link does not go to a ÃÛÔÂÖ±²¥ website or service
  • Legitimate e-signature platforms do not ask the user to scan a QR code

Additional notes

  • This is an extremely dangerous phishing attempt. If you scanned the QR code and filled in your personal information, please contact the Help Desk immediately at x4357 (HELP) or helpdesk@marist.edu .
  • Beware of QR codes:  QR Codes embedded in phishing emails are become more popular as a way to evade email threat detection and bypass standard Cybersecurity tools that are used on most desktops and laptops.
  • Report this message to Microsoft. In Outlook on the Web, click the Junk menu, and select Phishing.
  • A little paranoia goes a long way! Be suspicious of any email messages similar to this one.
