[Che-student-staff-list] "Phishing" Email

[Harrington, Michael P]

Thanks to all that have asked, yes the email that many of you received yesterday or today with the subject of "Data Base" is indeed 'spam' or more precisely a 'phishing' email and should be deleted.

The email shows as coming from several different sources but all seem to contain the following at the start of the email, "You have reached the quota limit of your email account in our database"

Please delete the email.

DO NOT click on any link in that email. If you did then you should immediately change your career account password in the normal way you do.

Thanks again to those of you that asked.

-Mike
