External Sender - New Subject Line Tag

FOR ALL STAFF
As a district we continue to educate staff and make strides to keep all technology systems safe and secure.

One area that is always a concern is when staff click on a link in an email or download an attachment from a phishing email. These links and attachments can contain malware and ransomware that can cripple IT systems and lock you out of your data and other data/systems until a ransom is paid. To help staff identify any email that is not from an @wbsd-schools.org address, the Technology Department will be adding: [EXTERNAL SENDER] to all emails that are not from the @wbsd-schools.org domain beginning Tuesday, March 10, 2020. Please be extra diligent in clicking on links and attachments from non @wbsd-schools.org emails. If you are not sure of the link or attachment please submit a technology help desk ticket and someone from the Technology Department will reach out.
