YOU HAVE BEEN PHISHED! – BUT DON’T WORRY IT’S JUST A TRAINING EXERCISE

The UBC Cybersecurity team has initiated a campus-wide self-phishing campaign
designed to educate all UBC employees on the dangers of falling for a phishing
email. To put your mind at ease, your UBC login credentials have not been
compromised and your password has not been recorded. The collected results from
this exercise are confidential and will not be shared with your manager or any
of your co-workers.


REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES

What could have happened if this was a real phishing message initiated by a
criminal? In some cases, the message links to a very convincing-looking copycat
website which, when visited, could record any information you enter afterwards;
usernames and passwords, personal information, credit card details, and
transaction numbers.

Another possibility is that the link or an attachment in the message would
initiate a virus or spyware to be downloaded to your computer which could
eventually lead to the criminal sending emails to even more victims while
pretending to be you.


HOW COULD YOU HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS A PHISHING EMAIL?
