The Department of Information Technology was just informed of a phishing attempt that is currently going around the district. The email is coming from Lashana Pollard (via Google Docs) <drive-shares-dm-noreply@google.com>, which is not the email that would normally share files. Normally, when someone is sharing a document with you, it will show up as (ex:) Caylib Mason (via Google Docs) <caylibmason@bwls.net>.
As a safety measure, all links shared from users outside of BWLS are flagged such as below. When there is a flag, it is best to not click on any links, as they are more than likely attempting to gain your information, which can then be used to access our network. If you received this email, do not click any links and mark the message as spam. For those of you that did not recieve this email, here is what it looks like, which is very similar to how shared docs are sent;
If you ever have any doubts as to whether a file is safe or not, you can email it to cyber@bwls.net for review.
We thank you for not clicking suspicious links and for keeping our digital environment safe for all users.
