Phishing alert!

We’re getting increased reports of phishing emails to customers claiming to be from TDS but are actually from @cableone email addresses in many cases.

Here’s one example:

We’re working to block emails from this domain name on our email servers. If you clicked on any links or entered any information, please update your TDS email password immediately. For more information about phishing scams, we have a variety of resources:

    Thanks for this. I got another one today. I’m getting them daily with different senders each time, but all from “cableone’.

      It is not. We already have your contact information so we would never ask you verify it :-). You were wise to check!
