Beware of fake phishing email trying to steal your ITSC password

28 June 2016

Dear all,

Recently, ITSC has detected several fake email messages which appear to be system notice issued by ITSC. The message has a fake logon screen (CAS) which mimics closely the real one. Any passwords input at this fake logon screen will be captured by hackers.

Below is an example of a recent phishing email.

We have also produced a teaching video for your quick reference.

In case you have replied to the phishing email by entering your username and password, please reset your password at once.

Thank you for your attention.
