TO ALL STUDENTS,STAFF AND FACULTY
In the past we have updated the community on various social engineering
attempts by hackers to "Phish" personal information, using familiar or
plausible
emails which require you to respond to preserve service. Over the last 24
hours, members of the University Community may have received an email
claiming to
be from a member of the Information Services leadership team. This email
attempts to have the recipient click on a link and enter their account
details in an
external website, which is not associated with the University.
The University Community has made great strides over the past few years in
becoming educated and aware in matters of information security. It is
through our
shared responsibility that we secure and protect our valuable information
resources and continue to serve our students.
