Phishing is a fraudulent
process used by spammers to acquire sensitive information from users such as
usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Email recipients are often
deceived by phishing attempts since messages appear to be sent by legitimate and
trustworthy sources.
This
week, we have learned of a new phishing attack that attempts to draw the
attention of recipients with the subject line ôsubjö [for example], while
the sender may appear to be client@ezschoolonline.com
[for example]. Users are directed to a fake website and asked to enter private
information. In the event that you receive a message fitting this description,
close the message immediately and report it as spam. Remember that
EZSchoolPay will never ask you for your password or other personal information
in an email, and emails such as this are not from EZSchoolPay.
Please know that we take
your privacy very important and that we never sell or provide your personal
information to third parties.
