Email Phishing Attack - May 3, 2017

Lorena ISD Community,

In case you are not aware, there is a Google Docs phishing attack going around by email this afternoon.  It starts by stating that a google user has invited you to view the following document and there is a link.

Once the user clicks on the link, it asks for permission to view, read, modify emails and manage contacts. Do not allow permission.
If you have already clicked on the link, then my best suggestion is to change your password in Google immediately.  Then, please do the following:
·       Open an internet browser and type in the url accounts.google.com
·       Click on Connected Apps and Sites
·       Click on Manage Apps
·       Look for Google Doc App entries that have today's date. 
·       Revoke access to that app if it has today’s date or Just Now
Here are some articles that explain what is happening with this phishing attack right now.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Grimm
