                    </div>
                    <div class="panel-body">
                        <p>We have become aware of a phishing scam in which individuals impersonate Prof. Kate Saenko to offer fake research internship or job positions. These fraudulent messages are <strong>not</strong> sent by Prof. Saenko or anyone affiliated with her research group.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>

                <h3>How to Identify the Scam</h3>
                <ul>
                    <li>The email may appear to come from Prof. Saenko but uses an address that is <strong>not</strong> an official <code>@bu.edu</code> address (e.g., a Gmail, Yahoo, or other free email account).</li>
                    <li>The message offers a research internship, assistantship, or job opportunity and may ask you to reply urgently.</li>
                    <li>You may be asked to provide personal information, pay fees, purchase equipment, or cash checks.</li>
                    <li>The writing style, grammar, or formatting may seem unusual or inconsistent with professional academic communication.</li>
                </ul>

                <h3>What You Should Do</h3>
                <ul>
                    <li><strong>Do not reply</strong> to the suspicious email.</li>
                    <li><strong>Do not click</strong> any links or open any attachments in the message.</li>
                    <li><strong>Do not send</strong> money, gift cards, or personal information.</li>
                    <li>If you have already responded or shared personal information, contact your institution's IT security office immediately.</li>
                </ul>

                <h3>How to Report Phishing</h3>
                <ul>
                    <li><strong>Boston University community:</strong> Forward the suspicious email to <a href="mailto:abuse@bu.edu">abuse@bu.edu</a>. See BU's <a href="https://www.bu.edu/tech/support/information-security/security-for-everyone/phishing/">phishing information page</a> for more details.</li>
                    <li><strong>Gmail users:</strong> Use the "Report phishing" option in the three-dot menu of the email.</li>
                    <li><strong>Other email providers:</strong> Check your provider's documentation on how to report phishing or spam.</li>
                    <li><strong>U.S. residents:</strong> Report the scam to the <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/">FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)</a> or the <a href="https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/">FTC</a>.</li>
                </ul>

                <h3>Legitimate Contact</h3>
                <p>All official communications from Prof. Saenko will come from her <strong>@bu.edu</strong> email address. If you are unsure whether a message is legitimate, you can verify by contacting Prof. Saenko through her <a href="ksaenko.html">official contact page</a>.</p>
