SUBJECT: Mines Cyber-Security Training Reminder
TO: USERNAME@MINES.EDU
This is a reminder that you have been signed up for security training by the Mines Cyber-Security team. You clicked on a link in a phishing test, so you will need to complete the assigned training at https://training.knowbe4.com/ui/login/amNlhcmRAbWqluZXMuZWjR1.
You may be shy clicking on links after failing a Phishing test and it is our goal to help you identify real versus phishing emails. For example, this email is real and you can tell because:
• It is an internal email
• It is digitally signed by a Mines employee
• If you hover over the link, it shows the correct URL mentioned
• The sender’s email address is a real Mines email address
• You can verify ITS legitimate emails at it.mines.edu/verify
Follow this link, which describes the phishing test and the associated red flags: https://helpcenter.mines.edu/TDClient/1946/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=128794
Phishing is the first step in most major cyber-security attacks. By itself, it can lead to possible financial loss and harassment. It is important to stop phishing for your own protection and to protect the School of Mines. Additional phishing training is required for everyone who clicks on a link in a phishing test. To take the security training, follow this link to the [5/10/15]-minute training course with a corresponding test.
