Mastodon Bytes: Phishing Attempts  With the start of the school year comes a a new slew of phishing attempts. By now, almost all of you have probably received an email that looked like it was from IT Services that requested your username and password "to prevent losing your mail." This is called phishing---- an individual's attempt to gain access to your accounts and use it to send more phishing attempts. Always remember that no legitimate organization (bank, school, or business) will ever ask for your password. If someone asks for yours, simply delete the email. |
