Phishing Email Description

This phishing email attempts to trick the recipient into thinking email forwarding has been added to their account when they have most likely not done so. It then asks the recipient to click a link to a malicious website that attempts to steal login credentials. This site is highly customized to resemble an official U-M website, and even uses elements stolen from real U-M websites. The fake website redirects through GitHub and Google to try and appear authentic. 

How not to get caught: Always check the URL of the login page before logging in. The real U-M login page is https://weblogin.umich.edu. If you are already logged in, it will redirect you to Wolverine Access.
