Phishing is an attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and other account details by a spammer posing as a legitimate entity, such as a bank, internet service provider or University.

Phishing attempts are often not caught by spam filters because they come from "spoofed" email addresses. When someone spoofs an email address they are essentially forging the "from" address on the email. It may appear to be from support@webster.edu when really it is from a spammer.

There are several ways you can identify phishing attempts.

• Read the email carefully; many phishing attempts are poorly written, containing poor grammar and spelling mistakes.
• Look to see if there is a "reply-to" address different from the "from" address.
• Does the email ask you to send in your username, password, social security number or other private information via email? Legitimate organizations do not ask for these things via email.

Phishing attempts are common, but you can protect yourself.

• Never send your password via email
• Never respond to a message that looks suspicious or that you are not positive comes from the organization or person it says its from. Don't even respond to just to ask if it is legitimate.
• Check http://www.webster.edu/helpdesk/email_scams.shtml for known phishing scams, if your email looks similar DO NOT respond.
• Do not click on a link in an email from an unknown source!  Your account can be hijacked or you can get a virus on your computer by clicking on a link in an email.  If you are even slightly suspicious of the email, DO NOT click on the link.
• Be skeptical.  Don’t be fooled by personalized messages, web pages or images in an email, they are all easily faked.
