Web Form Services and Phishing
There are many ways phishing scams can trick users into divulging private user information. One way is using forms hosted by online web services to collect user passwords and other account information. To address this threat, Pace University added a warning to the beginning of all email messages containing URLs from identified web form hosting sites. We strongly recommend that users take extra precaution before replying, clicking, or sending information to these identified web forms. The warning note to be added reads as follows:
Warning from the Pace University Email System: This email contains a link to a web hosting service that has sometimes been abused by “phishers” trying to get people to disclose personal information. If the link in this email directs you to a form to enter personal information or your Pace University UserID and Password, you are advised to not enter the requested information and delete the email. For questions, contact the ITS Help Desk at (914) 773-3333 or online at the Pace University Helpdesk.
