A notable aspect of the current situation is that it is taking place via a number of different addresses. This makes it harder to stop as each address used by the fraudsters must be blocked individually by our IT staff.
To protect yourself and the University’s IT environment, you need to be extra alert. The best protection is to use your common sense and to think critically. Remember that phishing attempts often seem authentic.
Do not reply to any suspicious emails. Instead, forward the suspect email/link to security@uu.se or call IT support on 471 44 00.
