The Phish Bowl
Welcome to the Phish Bowl!
Stay up to date on the latest phishing attempts targeting the UCSC community.
If you receive an email that looks suspicious, refer to this page for recent alerts; if the email is listed here, you can safely delete it without further action.
If you receive a suspicious email in your 'Inbox' that is not listed here:
- DO NOT assume it is safe.
- Forward it to phishing@ucsc.edu. We will review it before adding it to the table below.
- Mark it as phishing to Google.
If you have already responded to a phishing email, meaning you clicked on a link, provided personal information, logged into a fake website, downloaded malicious software, or taken any other actions requested in the email, please let us know by completing the Security Incident Report Form and refer to the section “What to do if you have responded to a phishing scam” on “Protect Yourself from Scams.”
If a suspicious email landed in your spam folder, there is no need to report it us, as Google has already identified it as spam and may pose as a security risk. Leave it there and refrain from responding to them.
