Subject: SECURITY ALERT: Payroll Update
Hey Kevin, I just received a message that was supposedly from the payroll office. I realized immediately it was a phishing attempt. It asked me to update my direct deposit details using the heading “Bank Info,” so I knew it was fake. I did not click the attachment.
To stay safe, I changed my network password. You should update yours as well. I also told our coworkers to watch for any email that says “Bank Info” and delete it. On a positive note, I’ll be back at the office next week, and I look forward to seeing you. Lucas
