More phishing…slow down for email links

There seems to be another round of phishing hitting University email addresses at the moment.

I’ve seen them with subjects like ‘Last Warning’ and ‘Mail Quota Exceeded’ in the last few days.

What gives these messages away as phish is two things:

1. The links to click on have no ‘lincoln.ac.uk’ in them.

2. They both ask you to do something that looks urgent

If you think you need to click on a link in an email quickly it’s time to pause for thought…

A little thought could save you (or someone else) some wasted time and effort or worse.
