The following is from Director of Technology Larry Emmons. What is Phishing? From Wikipedia - An example of a phishing email, disguised as an official email from a (fictional) bank. The sender is attempting to trick the recipient into revealing secure information by "confirming" it at the phisher's website.  In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical measures. If you feel you have been Phished, please contact the institution that the party is trying to mimic. You should never enter your personal information unless you are positive of the identify of the requesting party.  Technology Services attempts to capture these phishing attempts with our SPAM filter, but it is not a 100% guarantee.
