UBIT SECURITY ALERT, 2/1/2021
Outlook Web Access Phish - Do not click 'IMPORTANT: Email Alert From University at Buffalo ' email 02-01-21
An email supposedly from "University at Buffalo" claims that you have a new message in the employee portal and asks you to click a link to read it.
Red flags: How you can tell it is a fake
- The address is not a UB email address.
- The domain of the URL is not buffalo.edu. The words "exchowa.buffalo.edu" show up at the very end, not the beginning (.e.g http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit.html)
I already clicked the link. What should I do?
- If you entered your password, change it immediately - go to Changing Your Password.
- If clicked on the link, but did not enter your password, please check that your computer security or anti virus program is on and up to date.
I did not click on the attachment. What should I do?
Delete the email.
