September 10, 2025: Action Required Now!!! - Montclair State University

Why this looks valid: Email subject says Montclair State University. Email body has Microsoft with a copyright. Why this is phishing? NEVER fill out a Google Form with your passwords or Duo codes. Don’t share your passwords, duo codes or personal information with anyone. IT will never ask you for your login credentials. Link is a Google Form not a place to log into. If you’re ever unsure of a link go directly to the source website and login there. Email asks for a passphrase meaning your password. Email is not coming from Information Technology or from Microsoft directly. Click here to access the NetID Account Management Center to reset your password. Additional Notes: Do you think you’ve fallen for a scam? Did you share personal information? Downloaded malicious content? Please contact the IT Service Desk at 973-655-7971 option 1 or email itservicedesk@montclair.edu. Use the Knowbe4 Phish Alert Button (PAB) to report malicious emails directly to the Information Security team for review. If you are not using the Gmail client please forward the email to phishfiles@montclair.edu. Always use the “hover over” technique to check web links before clicking!
