Are you being phished? Check the login domain
Posted by Velvet Hasner
Missouri S&T was hit with a phishing attack on Sept. 14. To avoid such an attack, when you click a link and a login request pops up, make sure you look at the web address to which it goes. Official university authentication pages will have one of only two domains at the beginning of the web address:
- https://microsoftonline.com/
- https://shib-idp.umsystem.edu/
If you see anything else at the beginning of the URL, you are being phished. Please report the phishing attempt by submitting a ticket to help.mst.edu or email security@mst.edu.
