This morning, ITS became aware of another scam email. The message appears to be from “scanner@denison.edu” with a subject of “Attached Image” and has a .zip attachment.

This message is not from Denison and likely contains malware. It is another fraudulent attempt to infect your computer.

If you are using Denison Apps Mail:

Open the message and click the down arrow beside the Reply button and select “Report phishing” in the menu that appears. (Note: if “Report phishing” does not appear as an option and “Report not phishing” appears instead then the message is already flagged as phishing.)

This reports the phishing attack to Google and improves the identification and blocking of future phishing attacks. After you report it, please delete the message.

NOTE: this option is only available in the web (Gmail) interface for Denison Apps. It is not available if you are using Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or another client to access your Denison Apps email.

Please DO NOT RESPOND to or click links in this or any emails that request computer account or other personal information. They are an attempt to steal, at minimum, your email or other computer account, at maximum, your identity.

If you opened the attachment, please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu or 740-587-6395 to have your computer checked for malware.
