As the stately fowl, Nevermore, in Edgar Allen Poe’s 1845 poem “The Raven” malicious cyber actors seek to perch themself upon Pallas, your Inbox Door. Their tapping at your chamber door and leaded window is an insistent repetition to scheme their way in, and help themselves to the treasure trove of personal information which you have. Do not let these ‘fowl’ actors flirt and flutter their way in by opening the shutter.

Check the sending email address to see who it is actually from. Like the raven, Nevermore, they try to trick their way in, relying that you will willfully let them in. If you are suspicious of an email that you received then follow these STEPS in determining and reporting phishing emails. Do not reply to their messages or open their links.

If it is a ‘fowl’ actor attempting to perch themself upon Pallas, you probably are not the only one. Many times they are also insistently tapping upon your fellow colleagues’ window lattice too. If you follow these STEPS, and also report the phishing email to GMail, it keeps the shutters closed so that these ‘fowl’ actors cannot flirt and flutter their way in and obtain your or our students information.
