March 2023 Cyber Talk

March 31, 2023

Each month, ‘Cyber Talk’ will include statistics on GUC’s Phish Alert Button usage and, occasionally, any relevant cybersecurity or Information Technology (IT) tips or updates.  

This month, our Cyber Security Team would like to remind us that they have seen an increase in malicious phishing email attempts. This includes an increase in “credential harvesting” attempts where the scammer is trying to trick the email recipient into entering their GUC password.  

If you receive an email that is in any way suspicious, report it with the Phish Alert Button! 

Phish Alert Button Statistics 
IT is tracking use of the Phish Alert Button. The following statistics are from March 2023. Knowbe4 is the company that provides cyber training to GUC employees, and occasionally sends mock phish emails to test our cyber awareness.
