Spot the Fake Login

Can you spot the fake login?

Scammers can create fake login screens that are strikingly similar to legitimate ones. One of the login screens pictured above is our true WUSTL login screen, and the other is an imitation from a real scam. Can you spot the difference?

To make this more challenging, we’ve cropped out the URL from each login screenshot. Seeing the URL is a dead giveaway. A legitimate WUSTL Key login screen always has “connect.wustl.edu” at the beginning of its URL, and a fake login URL is anything else.
