Why this looks valid:

  • Email is coming from an internal email address
  • Student Communications and MSU logo utilized
  • Email says Red Hawk

Why this is phishing?

  • Email address is a personal account not associated with Red Hawk Central or Student Communications
  • Email says Red Hawk Center and not Red Hawk Central
  • Link is malicious and points to webpages asking for personal information
  • Greeting is generic, “Dear Montclair.edu”
