Phish Bowl Alerts
As we begin a new academic year, this phishing attempt is a good reminder that: (1) the Help Desk would not send a request to update or validate your mailbox, threatening "suspension" if you do not comply, and (2) that it would never send anything from a random Gmail address. Mark these as phishing, if they haven't already been so flagged.
