The Phish Market is a list of recent emails that were reported to the KSU Office of Cybersecurity as possible phishing attempts on the University community. The Office of Cybersecurity has confirmed these messages as malicious phishing attempts. If you have received an email that you believe may contain a phishing attempt, it is possible that some of the language and links differ from similar messages posted on the Phish Market. It is not uncommon for malicious actors to create variant messages.

We update this list regularly but it is possible that you received the message before it is published to the Phish Market.  If you mistakenly provided credentials to a confirmed phishing email, please change your NetID password immediately at http://netid.kennesaw.edu.  If you receive a suspicious email not in the Phish Market, please forward it to 起点加速器安装.

Email is the official method of communication at Kennesaw State University. All announcements and business related correspondence are conducted through official Kennesaw State University email accounts. Any email claiming to be an employee of the university that does not originate from an “@kennesaw.edu” address should be held in suspicion, especially if it claims to be from a person of leadership. Please follow the reporting instructions above if you receive suspicious emails that meet these criteria.

As part of Kennesaw State University's commitment to data security, every employee was required to complete a Spring 2020 session of Cybersecurity Training before May 1st. You can find a copy of the slide deck here.

In order to provide additional safeguards against phishing attempts, UITS has implemented the following measures:

  • Adding the word [EXTERNAL] to all emails originating outside of KSU
  • A short warning at the bottom of the email body for emails originating outside of KSU

In the last year a number of USG institutions, including KSU, suffered financial losses due to malicious individuals impersonating university employees or financial institutions. There were multiple incidents on the KSU campus alone contributing to financial losses. These additions will help identify emails that came from a non-kennesaw.edu email address and reduce the risks associated with these types of phishing attacks.

Additional supporting information:

  • Financial fraud via email phishing continues to be a threat to institutions around the state including KSU.
  • The FBI reported 23,775 business email compromise incidents in 2019 resulting in financial losses of more than $1.7 billion
  • In 2019, the FBI received an average of 1,200 complaints per day regarding fraudulent financial activity, with email phishing remaining the #1 crime type for the third year
  • Georgia ranked #13 in victims per State, and #11 in financial loss per State

                  I will call you after the meeting. I need you to help me get a Steam Wallet Gift card from the store and send me pictures. I will reimburse you back when I get back to the office. I need to send it to someone and it is very important because I am still at the meeting and I need to get it sent as soon as possible. Today is my best friend's son's birthday.


                  Thanks!
