On the morning of June 11, many users received a phishing email from a USC staff member instructing them to click a link to receive COVID-19 relief benefits. The email had the subject “Re: Thank you!” and Keck Medicine of USC branding within the message. Do not click the link in the email. It is a phishing email that will attempt to steal your personal information.

If you received this message and replied to it or clicked on the link and entered any information, please contact Provost IT. Official requests for this type of information will never ask for it via email in a format like this.
