Hi All

Please be careful when accessing links sent to you via email, and do not enter your ISM login credentials into any page you reach by selecting an email link unless you are certain the email is sent by a trusted source.

If you have concerns about the validity of any email you receive you should always contact the IT service Desk Team.

Further information about phishing attacks and online security is available here https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/119006 .

Please be concerned about the below mentioned key points when you are accessing untrusted websites.

1. Does the site look weird? Is the color off? Is the logo grainy or distorted? These are signs of a malicious site posing as a real one.

2. Do you click through the link from an email or a social media site? it’s always better to type in the URL in the browser instead of clicking through the link as presented just to make sure you’re going to real site. (Just to check)

3. Is a site you’ve visited in the past now asking for personal information it didn’t before? This could mean that you’re visiting a fake version of a real site, particularly if you clicked through a link from email or social media.

4. For secure sites, does it have HTTPS in the address bar? Most browsers will also display a lock icon around the address bar to indicate the site is secure, although users should click the lock icon to make

sure the certificate matches what they expect from the site.

Thank you for your cooperation
