Jackie Simmons reminds us that there's a new campus site, the Registry of authentic messages that will help with determining the authenticity of emails that appear to be coming from campus. This registry lists UC or campus email messages that might resemble phishing, but are authentic. The IT Express Computing Services Help Desk does not post messages to the Registry of authentic messages site until it has confirmed that the message is genuine.
See Jackie's reminder below, with a fine example of a real phishing attempt:

Another Example of a Phishing Attempt!
There is a new site for checking whether email is 'authentic'. Actual notices will be posted here. http://security.ucdavis.edu/authentic.html
When phishing email like this arrives, please forward email and comments to ithelp@ucdavis.edu .
