WHAT'S HAPPENING?
There are emails that are being circulated, an example of which is below, that appear to come from OIT directing users to an external form to provide sensitive data. These are not legitimate emails.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
If you receive an email like this, do not click on the link. If a phishing or spam email makes its way into your inbox, please forward it according to the directions at
http://support.cc.gatech.edu/support-tools/faq/what-should-i-do-when-i-receive-spam-or-phishing-email to improve the accuracy of GT's filters.

You can learn to recognize phishing emails. They frequently contain poor grammar and unusual wording. Sometimes they will use a legitimate-looking email address, but they don't always. In some cases, there is a mismatch between the name and the email address in the From field. However, these are not always present. The tell-tale sign is to check without clicking the links to see where they point to. Phishing emails want you to visit a site with an unusual URL that has nothing to do with the sender. In the example below, the form link points to an external site unrelated to Georgia Tech.

Attention Users,

Due to recent hacking attempts, we have decided to replace the entry behavior of all users.
As soon as this update is complete,instead of you to see the normal username and password space to login to your account, you will now see Access and access key which are the words we are replacing username and password with.
CLICK ON THE LINK http://www.<REMOVED>.com/forms/?1426514-4HnZeL8gle and replace Username and Password with Access and Access Key to protect your account.

Thank You
OIT Georgia Tech
