Phishing

The link you clicked was identified as connecting to a malicious website.  In all likelihood you were to be asked for credentials or other information that would have allowed access to Wesleyan materials by non-Wesleyan personnel. Or the site would have downloaded a payload to your system to allow it to be compromised. If you have any questions please, contact security@wesleyan.edu
