BEWARE: SPEAR PHISHING AREA
Identity thieves regularly target college and university campuses. You
should always be suspicious of e-mail asking for personal or financial
information and never follow the link in the suspect message. The university
will never send messages requesting that you e-mail your private data or
passwords and if you ever have doubts about such a message, you may contact
the IT Service Center. To learn more about how you can avoid getting hooked
