Phishing investigation and response

What is it?

Phishing is a type of social engineering scam in which cybercriminals send an email that appears to come from a legit source but is intended to gain access to personal information such as passwords, login credentials, banking details, and credit cards.

LITS is here to protect you from phishing scams. We can block bad actors and quarantine phishing messages to keep the community safe. 

If you receive a message that seems suspicious, follow our instructions to report phishing to the Technology Help Desk for investigation and response. Even if the message seems obviously phishy to you, reporting it to LITS allows us to protect other members of the MHC community. 

Please also keep an eye on the Phish Bowl to view phishing messages that have targeted the MHC community.

 

Who can use it?

Current MHC students, faculty, staff, alums, and other users with MHC Accounts

 

How do I get it?
