The link in the email goes to this fake Utoronto website: utoronthelp.com. And, staff members and students should always go directly to https://weblogin.utoronto.ca/ to access their webmail, instead of clicking on a link in an email. Also, after signing in, they will be notified of important updates or changes.
University of Toronto's students or staff members who have already been tricked by the phishing scam are asked to contact Utoronto's I.T support team for help.
