Phishing Email Summary

This phishing email seeks to trick people into logging in to a fake mail system.  The email tries to convince people to follow the links by claiming the recipient has messages pending which will be deleted if they do not act quickly. Versions of this phish may be customized with the recipient's email address or contain fake "from" entries to appear more convincing.

Always check the URL before logging in. While images and branding can be faked or stolen, a check of the site's URL will tell you quickly that the site is a fake. The real U-M weblogin site is https://weblogin.umich.edu . If you have already authenticated, going to weblogin should redirect you to Wolverine Access.
