[All_jlau] JLab Cybersecurity Alert: E-mail Phishing Attack Underway

[Kandice Carter]

Sent on Behalf of the Computing and Networking Infrastructure Group

Jefferson Lab e-mail accounts are currently receiving fake e-mails  
that claim to be from the "Donnie R. Fitzpatrick" at  
"info at helpdesk.org." The e-mails assert that the recipient's e-mail  
account has exceeded its size limit and will be blocked from sending  
and receiving e-mails if further size limits are reached. The e-mail  
includes a link that will supposedly allow the recipient to increase  
their mailbox capacity.

These are "phishing" e-mails aimed at getting you to reveal your  
account information. Jefferson Lab's Computer Center personnel will  
never ask you to reveal your account information by e-mail, by phone  
or by fax.

If you have received this suspicious e-mail, delete it immediately. If  
you have already responded to this e-mail, clicked the link in the e- 
mail, or have other questions, please immediately contact the Computer  
Center HelpDesk at x7155 or helpdesk at jlab.org.
