In the coming weeks, another phishing simulation email will be sent out to faculty and staff. If you receive the email and respond by opening the link or attachment, you’ll be directed to an informational page. Because phishing represents such a significant risk to campus, ITS will be assigning additional training to individuals who repeatedly click links or open attachments in phishing emails, simulated or not. Participating in training like this is an effective and risk-free way to learn about the dangers of phishing and help protect individual and campus data. If you have any questions or concerns, contact informationsecurity@drake.edu.

If you receive an email you suspect is phishing, don’t click any links, download any attachments, or reply. Instead, forward the email as an attachment to informationsecurity@drake.edu.
