Why this looks valid:

• Attacker spoofed the legitimate IT Service Desk email address
• Contains the MSU logo
• Link at the bottom of the email legitimately points to the MSU website

Why this is phishing?

• The email is in a style that the IT Service Desk does not send emails in
• Email Subject has odd spacing to avoid blocks already created
• Link that is attached to the button leads to a fake login page that is not our SSO
• Emails like this would come from an All Users list

Additional Notes:
