**Stay Alert: Sophisticated Duo Phishing Attacks**

Beware of phishing emails that target your Duo two-factor authentication. Scammers monitor real-time to capture your Duo Push code using fake prompts.

Key tactics include:

- Using terms like COVID-19 notices or Duo updates to seem credible.
- Redirecting to fake U-M Weblogin and Duo authentication screens.
- Mimicking U-M sites with URLs like "weblogin.umich.edu" or "eei.umflint.edu" in longer URLs.
- Crafting emails with U-M-style graphics and layouts.

Victims risk account compromise, enabling scammers to spread further.
