K-12 Google Form Information Harvesting

A Minnesota school district reported that high school students received a phishing email with a subject line related to part-time job opportunities. The phishing email contained a suspicious link to a Google form that requests information from the recipient. If the recipient sends the form, they will receive a text message that provides additional details on the “job.” The sender states that they need the student to handle a donation and to send money to a specific account.
