We received a few reports regarding a phishing email circulating that impersonates President Bernstein. In this novel attack, the sender is acting as the approver and including the false “initial email” and then copying people they think could initiate the transfer. Note that the sender’s email address is not President Bernstein’s TCNJ address, nor is it even part of the tcnj.edu domain. They did attempt to make it appear as such in the name field of the From: line, but fortunately did a poor job. The email also contained banking information, something most vendors are not going to send in the clear in this manner. Please be vigilant when viewing any emails that are in regard to financial transactions, both personal and professional, and check with us at phish@tcnj.edu for any suspicious messages. Thank you.
