Thanks for following along throughout another NCSAM! 2024 has included a resurgence in social engineering attacks, designed to trick people into giving up financial information, actual funds, or account credentials. Each DM from the past few weeks has been recorded on our new OIT About page for InfoSec. Please take a look, and come back to see what new threats have emerged, like the GenAI caller Scam noted in that section.
Going forward, this page will serve as our central communication platform for scams and phishing attacks that warrant heightened awareness, direct action, or broad community engagement to withstand. Specific examples of emerging threats will be shared via DMs, but the guidance on what to do with each type will link back to this page.
So the next time you get an email asking you for your username and password, don’t Report spam…Report phishing and let OIT investigate it to protect your account and the college from the bad guys! Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
