EMAIL IS BACK. STAY ALERT FOR SCAMS.
(November 13, 2026 — Leonardtown, MD)
Following the recent Microsoft email service disruption, scammers may try to take advantage of the situation by sending messages that appear to come from Microsoft, your employer or a trusted organization.
These messages may ask you to restore access, verify your account or click a link to retrieve delayed emails.
Before you click, take a moment to check:
Don't click links in unexpected account recovery or verification emails.
Never share passwords or security codes.
Be cautious of urgent requests, unexpected attachments and unfamiliar QR codes.
If something seems suspicious, contact the organization directly using a phone number or website you know is legitimate.
As email service resumes, delayed messages may arrive in your inbox. Just because an email arrives after the outage doesn't mean it's safe.
A few extra seconds of caution can help protect your personal information and prevent fraud.
Stay alert. Stay informed. Stay safe.
