Thanks.  Our Ironport email logs show a couple of suspicious messages this morning but they were blocked here:

    Report any suspicious or malicious message by forwarding
    it as an attachment (ctrl-alt-F in Outlook) to phish () usu edu.
    The attachment format preserves hidden delivery header
    information that is helpful for reporting or blocking.

    Do you know the "Skeptical Hover Technique" and
    how to tell where a web link really goes?  See:

Subject: [SECURITY] Blackboard Phishing Emails


All,



Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we have been dealing with a bunch of Blackboard phishing emails lately. 
Not sure if everyone else is too, but please be on the lookout for them. Ours have had a link in them that will then 
ask for credentials, and unfortunately, we have had a good amount of people enter them in because the emails appear to 
be coming from trustworthy sources, including our own employees.



Stay safe!
