Phishing

Phishing emails attempt to "fish" for your personal information and login details to websites by disguising themselves as legitimate entities. For example, a phishing email might look like it was sent from a legitimate sender, but in fact will redirect you to a "phishing" site that tries to steal your personal information. We'll keep you posted to phishing emails as we're made aware of them. As a rule of thumb, don't click on links in emails. Instead, visit the websites you trust directly by typing their URL (address) in your browser's address bar.
