Phishing & Spam Email Reporting
To protect yourself, Splash employees, and partners it is important we identify, isolate and protect ourselves from the following threats:
Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information or data, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive details by impersonating oneself as a trustworthy entity in digital communication.
Spam, also referred to as junk email, is unsolicited messages sent in bulk by email.
How to identify them:
- It's sent from a Splash employee name, but the email domain is not splash.org
- The email requests sensitive information (such as credit card information, passwords, login info, etc)
- The domain name is misspelled or is alphanumerical (such as 45dfhg87u362.com)
- The email is poorly written or has no signature
- The email contains an invoice for purchase or order that you did not make
- It includes suspicious attachments or links
- The message creates a sense of urgency
What do you do now?
- BLOCK SENDER to ensure it is reported as JUNK or PHISHING within the Home Bar in Outlook (this alerts the IT Team and prevents the email from further distribution)
- Do NOT click on any links, open attachments, or respond
- Do NOT share any information with the sender or even forward the email internally
- If you think security has been compromised, please open a Ticket with IT here
