The event educated students about the dangers posed by phishing emails and other cybersecurity threats in a unique, fun way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cPhishing is a way that a cybercriminal can attempt to gain access to someone\u2019s network,\u201d said JP Montross, Director of IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWe have systems in place that protect us through known entities,\u201d added Montross. IT Cybersecurity\u2019s tools allow them to assess how long a given email inbox or domain has been in place and assign it a reputation score based on that and other metrics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cBut some stuff slips through the cracks, and it\u2019s not perfect,\u201d said Montross. \u201cSeveral times a week, a phishing email comes through trying to impersonate someone or trying to get a response from someone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Montross provided a litany of ways that Marist students can take action to prevent themselves from falling victim to a phishing email.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cFirst, you want to verify the sender and make sure that it\u2019s a valid address that it\u2019s coming from. There are certain hallmarks of phishing messages. Typically, a phishing message will get you to have an emotional response to something. It will make you try to act now. The last student phishing email we got was for a remote job offer for $550 a week. That\u2019s attractive, but is that too good to be true?\u201d said Montross.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Montross also mentioned that phishers often deploy URL shorteners to make their suspicious links appear normal, and encouraged Marist students and faculty to \u201chover over that link to understand where it will take you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cAnd then when you do click that link, be aware that everyone isn\u2019t honest. If you\u2019re interested in a remote job, why are they asking you for your bank information? Why are they asking you for your Marist login?\u201d said Montross.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Montross identified the DUO Mobile codes that Marist uses as \u201cthe last line of&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maristcircle.com\/home\/2026\/4\/27\/marist-it-cybersecurity-hosts-phish-bowl-event\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marist IT Cybersecurity Hosts Phish Bowl Event \u2014 MARIST CIRCLE https:\/\/www.maristcircle.com\/home\/2026\/4\/27\/marist-it-cybersecurity-hosts-phish-bowl-event Publish Date: 2026-04-27 16:27:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":236365,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"http:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/594f72de20099e6f69c443e7\/594f75df1b10e30c099de149\/69efc65aaa1d220deefda637\/1777321683400\/PhishBowl.jpeg?format=1500w","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-236364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-phishing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236364"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236364"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236366,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236364\/revisions\/236366"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
