[ExtendedVassarCommunity] [All Accounts] From CIS: Phishing Attempt Asking You To Click For A Secure Message from Google Docs

[CIS Service Desk]

You may have received an email with the subject "Dropbox" claiming someone
has sent you files via Google Docs. The message asks that you click to
download the “secure message” and displays a Google Docs logo. Even though
you may recognize the sender, this is NOT from Google and should be
considered a phishing attempt.

Do not reply to the message or click on the links. Please delete the email
if you've received it.



If you have already responded to the email or clicked the provided link,
you should be sure to change your password immediately by visiting
controlpanel.vassar.edu (https://controlpanel.vassar.edu ).

If you need assistance, please contact the service desk at
servicedesk at vassar.edu
(or call x7224) during normal business hours.

A sample of the false email follows.
