[PHISH] Message From The college of new jersey_HR

We received reports of a QR code phishing attack earlier today imitating our HR department.  The email contained no body and was merely and attachment that attempted to look like a formal TCNJ document.  There are a number of markers within, such as odd wording, the use of the word “Corporate” in relation to policies, and poor formatting that lead this to be quickly identified as a phishing attack.  Scanning the QR code will prompt the user to complete a captcha before redirecting to a fake Microsoft login page where the attacker will harvest credentials if entered.  Please be vigilant when reviewing your emails and please forward any suspicious messages to us at phish@tcnj.edu.  Thank you.
