Montville Township Public Schools Staff Directory

Protecting our Community from Phishing Attacks

What is Phishing and Why is it Dangerous?

Phishing is a cyber attack where criminals impersonate trusted individuals, such as colleagues or reputable organizations, to steal sensitive information like passwords or financial details. These attacks often come in the form of emails or messages that look legitimate but are designed to deceive.

Why Does Publishing a Staff Directory Increase Phishing Risks?

A public staff directory can be a valuable resource for cybercriminals. By accessing employee names, roles, and contact details, attackers can:

  • Pretend to be a staff member, requesting confidential information or initiating fraudulent money transfers.

  • Use the publicly available information to craft convincing emails or messages designed to trick recipients into clicking harmful links or downloading malicious files.

Our Commitment to Reducing Phishing Threats

By choosing not to publish a full staff directory, we aim to minimize these phishing threats. This measure is not just about protecting staff; it safeguards the entire school community, including students and families, from data breaches, financial loss, and other cyber threats. This step ensures the privacy and security of everyone involved.
