Description: How to tell if it's a phishing email?
Phishing emails can be identified in the following ways:
- It asks for personal identifiable information, such as your CCRI username or password.
- Threatens to take away access or delete accounts if you do not reply.
- Have spelling or grammatical errors.
- It is being sent from another school or a staff member at the college
- Links in the email direct you to unsecure pages (NOT https).
- Hovering over the links shows you a different address than the one displayed or non-CCRI pages.
These are not inclusive of all messages that could be spam, so when in doubt, you can always forward the email to the CCRI IT help desk at helpdesk@ccri.edu for confirmation.
