Phishing Attempt

School Administrators,

On February 23, 2026, DESE was made aware of a phishing attempt targeting school districts. The emails sent out contained a link that would direct visitors to a webpage designed to steal credentials. If you clicked on a link in an email that appeared to come from DESE like the one below, please update that password immediately and any other accounts you use that share that password.

Screenshots of the email and webpage can be found below.
