Brief Description

Phishing

The most frequent incidents reported are suspected email phishing attacks.

• If you receive a suspicious email message that asks for personal information, request this service to get assistance or contact help desk
• If you believe your account has already been compromised as a result of a phishing attack, immediately change your password and request this service to get assistance or contact help desk
  • Indications of an account that is already compromised can include emails being sent from your email account that you did not send. Suspicious activity is an indicator that someone has unauthorized access to your account user name and password.
