Your 2025 Earnings & Benefits Statement

Posted in: Phishing

Screenshot of a phishing email posing as HR about earnings and benefits.

Screenshot of the Google Form being used in HR phish to gather emails and passwords.

 

Why this looks valid:

  • Email says it’s from HR
  • Google Doc/PDF has Montclair logo

Why this is phishing?

  • Email has no information but a link to a Google Drive
  • Sender is not from Montclair State University
  • Google Doc leads you to a Google Form that is requesting your email and password. Never provide your username/email, password or Duo codes into Google Forms
