Cyber Security News
Spoofing • (verb)
spoof·ing | /spo͞ofing/
Spoofing = hiding the true identity of a sender making you think that it is somebody you know.
WHAT MAKES SPOOFING SO DANGEROUS?
Fraudsters know that you are more likely to trust or follow instructions from someone you know. For example, you are more likely to open an attachment from your Superintendent, Principal, friend, colleague or family member because you trust them. Fraudsters research their target company’s internal relationships, activities and purchasing processes, making the emails even more convincing. This is why all emails that originate from outside of the organization are tagged with [EXTERNAL] in the subject line. That is the first sign of something not being legitimate.
They may even ask you to purchase gift cards for them. Please know that we as a district have made a policy decision to not conduct financial and personnel business via electronic means.
