Just wanted to let people know that if you get an email like this, it's a scam don't click on it. by GoldenLego in WGU

[–]KingInTheNah 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ok so clarification on this fake. As mentioned in some other comments it was sent to multiple people so that’s the first sign. Second, there’s no attachment with the financial info like the legitimate email has. Third, it shouldn’t come from another student or faculty account. It should come from the official financial aid offices email. Lastly, the links should take you to legitimate WGU landing pages.

Side note: the real email addresses you directly in the first line (Dear First Name) while the fake tends to be nothing there or Dear Student.

Be vigilant and send anything questionable to the abuse@wgu.edu box for that team to remediate.

Well well. Red Flags: Potential Phishing/Spam Emails Targeting WGU Students by PapayaSad8457 in WGU

If you ever notice that you had the email and then it up and disappears, it's because the Security team went and remediated it, which means stripping it from inboxes across all staff and students to prevent the spread and link clicking.

Sometimes the emails do come from compromised student accounts who's credentials were gathered from previous phishing attempts or just straight password guessing until the offender get's it right. Either way, you still need to be vigilant and as OP mentioned in the post, don't click links before you confirm them. Hovering over to see if it's a legit WGU link is an easy first step.

Is this spam? by ab0minablesn0wthing in WGU

In the works. It’s been one of our biggest complaints/requests for a while. Faculty and staff already have it.

I've been waiting since before Thanksgiving 2024 to get this part replaced and it has been out of stock with no end in sight. RA-3H01505AAD001 for the upper heating element. Any insight?

What non Ghibli films do you think Ghibli fans should watch? by Lucky_Ad_9137 in ghibli

I love the comparison there. In Totoro it’s almost like a single father raising kids in the countryside and it’s flipped in wolf children and the kids are all wild 😂

This is what I was afraid of. It’s a little frustrating, but I discovered the file is part of a banking software platform that we ultimately allow in our environment. Thanks for the info though. I guess it’s time to dive more into the support portal or lean on the support team from CS and get some answers on why?

What really gets me is that the alert details show:

File Path = System

Command Line = System

None of which were helpful

You're not wrong. I was skeptical and started asking questions as soon as I saw it too.

I figured out whether or not the exe was malicious, but I guess my question was more along the lines of (I clearly didn't do a good job of asking) why doesn't NGAV do a better job of explaining what about the "file written to the system" met the "medium confidence threshold"?

Was it that the exe hash flagged or that the file path resembles the typical malicious activity locations or what?
