Today’s Tip: There is nothing that keeps someone from forging the return address on an Email; in fact, it’s no more difficult than writing a false return address in the corner of an envelope before dropping it in a mailbox. Just because an address ends in “@canisius.edu” doesn’t mean that someone at Canisius actually wrote it. If something seems truly odd about a message, don’t take it at face value; instead, call the person on the phone and ask if they sent it to you.
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. In order to make faculty and staff more aware of computer security issues, helpful facts or suggestions will be published every day this month in Under The Dome. Direct questions or comments to Matt Gracie, campus information security administrator, at Ext. 8378 or via Email at graciem@canisius.edu.
These tips will also be available on the “Canisius Information Security” Facebook page. Facebook users can add that page to their newsfeed.
