What Are We Doing About Phishing?

On report of phishing attempts – 

• We block the phisher return email addresses.
• If a website is used to collect replies, we notify the website administrators that their services are being misused or have been compromised.
• We block access from the University network to phisher websites.
• We notify other schools about reported phisher addresses and websites.
• We work to tune our rules that flag phishing email as spam.

IF you or anyone receive a phishing email that targets University email ACCOUNTS, REPORT it to
