Information Technology Services (ITS) and the Center for Online Learning & Innovation (COLI) have some tips for avoiding email phishing scams.
We all receive emails in the Canisius inboxes that look vaguely like they were sent by ITS or other employees insisting that we click links or reply promptly. People we don’t know tell us they’ve tagged us in a Facebook feed or sent us some sort of goods in the mail (with a link to click for details). These are phishing scams designed to get you to reply or click a link in some way and at some point, supply them with sensitive information that allows them to access our accounts or data. Here’s a quick video with tips on avoiding email scams:
