UBIT SECURITY ALERT, 5/29/2018

UB Login Phish - Do not click 'Ticket ID UB/U309001MC/21' email 05-29-18

IT Security Alert.

An email supposedly from the "Information Service Help Desk" tells you that you supposedly submitted a change of name and asks you to click a link to request to cancel the request if you did not.  The link "HERE" to cancel your request attempts to steal your UBITName and password.

Red flags: How you can tell it is a fake

 
  1. Hovering over URL shows it is not a buffalo.edu site.

I already clicked the links. What should I do?

  • 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 links. What should I do?

Delete the email.
