Phishing attacks continue to rise with hundreds of millions of emails sent out daily, resulting in stolen identities, institutional financial loss, intellectual property theft and other types of fraud.

Beginning in December 2017, The University of Wisconsin System will implement an institution-wide phishing awareness education program, similar to programs taking place at other large universities around the country. In this program, simulated phishing emails will be periodically sent to all UW faculty and staff. Additional details can be found here.
