Warning! Don't Give Out Your Password!
Many people on campus have been receiving email messages telling them that they need to confirm their email address. This
message is a fraud and an attempt to steal passwords. DO NOT
ANSWER IT! NEVER EMAIL YOUR PASSWORD. IS&T employees will never demand that
you mail your password to anyone.
This fraudulent message is an example of "phishing," where an intruder
attempts to steal personal information by sending an official-looking
message.
This warning has also been posted to 3DOWN.
