IR sent out another memo today about phishing – the email went out to all faculty (wahoo!) in addition to being posted to the my.scranton portal.\u00a0 If you missed it:<\/p>\n
Over the past weekend, several University members have received phishing emails.\u00a0\u00a0 Phishing is where you receive an email from what appears to be the University, your bank, or other financial institution, requesting you to reset or confirm your security details.\u00a0 The scams often urge individuals to follow a link and enter their username and passwords.\u00a0 However, these links will usually take you to a fake website with the aim of getting hold of your personal or financial details to defraud you.<\/p>\n
IT Services urges all users not to follow links sent in email requesting your username and passwords.\u00a0 Any information that the University of Scranton needs will be posted within the my.scranton Portal.\u00a0 Emails guiding individuals to click on a link should be ignored.\u00a0\u00a0 Authorized emails sent by IT Services will be of an informative nature only.\u00a0 They will not contain links and will not request that you provide any personal information.<\/p>\n
If you received emails that are in question, please contact the Technology Support Center at extension 4357.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
