An email phishing scam delivered today attempted to trick recipients into entering their UVM Net-IDs and passwords on a fake "UVM Email" web site.    The subject is "Alert".   Please ignore it.  Although it appears to come from "UVM Email," it is not from anyone at UVM.  This message, like any other email that asks you to to enter your UVM password on a non-UVM web site, or to divulge your UVM password, is a phishing scam. Do not reply, and do not click links in such messages.  

 

UVM will never ask you to enter your UVM Net-ID password on a non-UVM web page.  Never.  

What to do if you've clicked on the link

If you've followed the link in the message, or replied to this email or one like it, you should change your password immediately at www.uvm.edu/account. Contact the UVM Computing Helpline if you need assistance changing your password.

For more information about phishing scams, view our Web page on protecting your NetID and password. 

If you are ever uncertain about the legitimacy of an email message concerning your uvm.edu account, please contact the Computing Help Line at 656-2604, or submit a help request online.

The "Alert" Phishing Scam

This is the message that some UVM email addresses have received today.  While it appears to come from a UVM address, and it appears that the link goes to a familiar UVM web page, that is not true.  There are multiple clues that it is not legitimate:

  • It is not personalized -- it's not addressed to you with your name and email address, and it doesn't include your name or Net-ID in the body of the message
  • It is not sent from a real uvm.edu email address
  • The link in the message goes to a non-UVM web site (not uvm.edu) -- hover your cursor over the link, and you'll see that it really would take you to renaissancerenovations.ca)
  • Although not displayed below, the hidden email headers also show the message was not sent from UVM

When any one of the clues above appear in an email message concerning your UVM account, please ignore the message or ask for help.

What is a Phishing Scam?

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) explains that phishing "attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials."

Phishing scams are successful when they sound authentic, and are often customized to appear as though they come from a trusted source.  They often include a mix of real and bogus email addresses and web links (URLs).  Phishing scams often appear to come from UVM, although of course they do not.  

APWG offers useful tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of phishing:

  • Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for  personal financial information
  • Don't use the links in an email to get to any web  page, if you suspect the message might not be authentic
  • Avoid filling out forms in email messages that ask  for personal financial information
  • Always ensure that you're using a secure website  when submitting credit card or other sensitive information  via your Web browser
  • Consider installing a Web browser tool bar to help  protect you from known phishing fraud websites
  • Regularly log into your online accounts
  • Regularly check your bank, credit and debit card  statements to ensure that all transactions are legitimate
  • Ensure that your browser is up to date and security  patches applied
  • Always report "phishing" or "spoofed" e-mails


Visit the following resources to learn more about phishing prevention,  scam advisories, and to report yourself as a victim of phishing or pharming:

Keeping Scams Out of Your Inbox

To avoid or limit this type of spam in the future, you can tell the UVM email system to dump spam into a "spam" folder rather than delivering it to your Inbox.  (You can open your spam folder to check for messages there, but most people just ignore it, and the system automatically purges old spam so you don't have to worry about accumulating too much.)  A recommended spam "threshold" is 50%. 

Some Older Phishing Scams

While there are likely to be several variations on each scam, here are some the messages received by UVMers recently.

The "Helpdesk" Phishing Scam

This message is nearly identical to the "Great News!" phishing scam shown below.  While it appears to come from a UVM address, there are multiple clues that it is not legitimate:

  • It is not personalized -- it's not addressed to you with your name and email address, and it doesn't include your name or Net-ID in the body of the message
  • It is not sent from a real uvm.edu email address
  • The link in the message goes to a non-UVM web site (not uvm.edu)
  • Although not displayed below, the hidden email headers also show the message was not sent from UVM (it originated with williams.edu)

When any one of the clues above appear in an email message concerning your UVM account, please ignore the message or ask for help.
