UNI embarked on a phishing education venture starting last October and continuing through April. Simulated but realistic phishing messages were sent periodically to faculty and staff mailboxes by a contracted vendor. Those that respond to these educational messages received some quick and specific training on recognizing and avoiding future phishing messages. Tips for dealing with phishing messages in general are available at Phishing
Here's a summary of the messages sent throughout the academic year.
