What is the Phish Bowl?

The New School community is a frequent target for phishing emails and other cyber scams. The Phish Bowl is a collection of the most recent scam emails and other suspicious communications sent to members of the community.

How to use the Phish Bowl

If you receive a suspicious email, visit the Phish Bowl and scan the list of recent phishing attempts. If the email is posted, there's no need to report it. Simply delete the email and you're done. If you received a suspicious email and it is not listed here, please report it to the Information Security and Privacy Office at ispo@newschool.edu or by emailing IT Central at itcentral@newschool.edu.

Reporting Phishing Scams to Google

When you receive a suspicious email please first report it to the Information Security and Privacy Office at ispo@newschool.edu or by emailing IT Central at itcentral@newschool.edu. This will allow us to add the phishing attempt to our Phish Bowl and work to block the email and sender from reaching other members of the community.

If you wish to report the message to Google as well, simply click the radio button on the right of the email and select “Report Phishing” to alert Google. You can also select “Block Sender” if you are certain that the message is malicious.

We also recommend reporting it to the Information Security and Privacy Office at ispo@newschool.edu or by emailing IT Central at itcentral@newschool.edu.

TIP: Never open the email or click on any links or other email addresses.
