Phish Tank

Denison's Cybersecurity Team publishes a selection of some confirmed phishing message examples here.

Some reminders:

  • Lack of listing here does NOT imply that the message is safe! If you get a suspicious email but don't see it listed here, DO NOT assume that it is safe!
  • Don't click on links or engage with emails. We've tried to sanitize messages where possible, but don't investigate on your own.
  • We've made a best effort to also remove identifiable information. If you find information that should be removed, please reach out to the Service Desk.
