This example is an attempt to trick users into disclosing their password. This one includes a message, attachment with a link and eventually a website that requests the victims password. Still we have some red flags:
- The message is from someone at @westnet.com.au not @brandeis.edu.
- We see grammatical errors in the messages along the way.
- The website victims eventually end up on is at qwestoffice.net not brandeis.edu.
- The website does not start with https:// which means the website is not secure enough to accept passwords.
