New Email Scam Targets ND

Updated: February 22, 2008 9:26 AM
Again, many Notre Dame e-mail users received a scam e-mail message attempting to obtain personal information and your Notre Dame account password.

Please remember:  Notre Dame and the OIT will NEVER ask you to supply your password or any other sensitive information in an e-mail.

It is essential that you do NOT provide your personal information by clicking on links or replying to e-mail.  If you think a request for your personal information might be legitimate, contact the institution or department using their officially published phone number, or open a new browser window and TYPE in their URL from a trusted source to check it out.  Never use any contact information included in the e-mail.

You can review more information about e-mail phishing at oit.nd.edu/email/phishingfaq.shtml and information about identity theft at secure.nd.edu. If you have additional questions, please contact your departmental IT support or the OIT Help Desk (631-8111).
