There is a new phishing email that promises $500.00 a week to work part time for UNICEF. Several university email accounts were compromised in a prior attack and the scammers are using these accounts to conduct this attack.\u00a0 Notice that they request that you use your personal email address.\u00a0 Once the victim responds, the scammer asks for your banking information so they can “pay” you via direct deposit.\u00a0 They instead steal money, sometimes thousands, from your bank account.\u00a0 A copy of the phish can be seen below.<\/p>\n
Some commonsense tips when you see these types of phishing emails.<\/p>\n
If it’s too good to be true it probably is.<\/p>\n
All of these types of emails follow the same pattern.\u00a0 1. Good pay for little work, 2. Respond using your non-Loyola email or text, and 3. The email generally comes from a compromised LUC account.<\/p>\n
Information Technology Services regularly monitors for phishing attacks and will scramble the password of an account that is compromised.\u00a0 If you fall for a phish and provide your password, you will most likely get a multi factor authentication request from your Microsoft Authenticator app that you do not expect.\u00a0 If you receive an MFA request that you do not expect, do not press Accept.\u00a0 Go to Loyola’s self-service password reset and change your password immediately.<\/p>\n
