The Phish Bowl

Welcome to the Phish Bowl!

Stay up to date on the latest phishing attempts targeting the UC Santa Cruz community.

If you receive an email that looks suspicious, refer to this page for recent alerts; if the email is listed here, report it as phishing to Google, then you can safely delete it without any 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 reporting the security incident to the ITS Support Center and choose Request Help. Refer to the section “What to do if you have responded to a phishing scam” on the Protect Yourself from Scams page.

If a suspicious email lands in your spam folder, there is no need to report it us, as Google has already identified it as spam that may be a security risk. Leave it there and refrain from responding to them.

* For Simulated Phishing Campaigns - If you click on a link in the simulated phishing email, you won’t experience any negative consequences. You will be directed to an educational web page designed to help you recognize and respond appropriately to email phishing.
