ADVISORY: Logging on to University Google resources

From time to time, you will see phishing schemes that claim to be a Google Doc. Most recently, many have received a scam letter titled "I've shared an item with you." The "google link" in the email doesn't go to Google, of course - and it presents a login that looks like this:

Currently, a REAL Google login should look like this:

But, be careful. Looking like this is not enough.

(PLEASE note - if you are  already logged in to gmail, following a link to a google doc should NOT present you with a login - you're already logged in.)

When

1. You ARE prompted to login to a resource for the University, 
2. AND you receive the Google prompt,
3. DO NOT enter your password.
4. Just present your email address, e.g. internet-id@umn.edu

Like this:

If it's legitimate, you may next see:

(You'll see this if Google thinks you have two versions of NAME@umn,edu, Choose "Organizational")

You'll do your real Internet ID + Password login on this screen: 

Remember, if legitimate, THIS login page will be hosted at an address that ends in "umn.edu." If it isn't, it is unlikely to be a real login page and you should report it to phishing@umn.edu.
