Phishing Email Summary
This phishing email pretends to be from a "Webmail account team." It tries to trick the recipient into going to a fake login page and providing their account information.
This phish uses tricks like creating a sense of urgency by placing a time limit in which to act, and asking for "drastic measure" to be taken. You can see that the website it directs recipients to is not the real U-M weblogin page by examining the URL.
U-M will not contact you in this way about email or other accounts, or ask you to provide personal information. If you ever have a question or concern about an account at U-M, start by messaging the ITS Service Center for assistance.
