Why am I receiving this message?

RIT email users have received a phishing attack that mimics an RIT official message.

If you've received a message asking to click on a link to provide proof of the existence and functionality of your email, please delete it. Here's a screenshot of the phish that's currently being received by RIT users:

How do I know this is a phishing attempt?

• ITS does not send out emails requesting login information. 
• You'll note that the link included in the email does not link to an RIT address. (We've removed the link from this example.)
• The phish uses a common technique of trying to impart a sense of urgency and trying to get you to supply the requested information quickly.
• This is a pretty obvious phish. If you had trouble identifying it, please visit the RIT Information Security Phishing page.
