Beware of Fake 2FA Registration Emails

Phish Bowl Alerts

Please be aware that a recent email claiming to be from 'oitnotifications[at]brown.edu' (actually from jody[at]honeybeecabins.com) is a phishing attempt. The message urges individuals to register for a two-factor authentication system and contains a link labeled "Commence Security Bolstering." Do not click this link. Always verify the authenticity of an email by checking for official Brown University domains and be wary of any action requests that have a sense of undue urgency, such as a tight deadline highlighted in the message. If in doubt, do not respond or click on any links, and report the email to PhishBowl@brown.edu. Stay vigilant and help keep our community safe.
