This week’s tip is titled “Trust Your Instincts.” Common sense is your best protection. If an email, phone call or online message seems odd, suspicious or too good to be true, it may be an attack. If you receive any such message, report it to abuse@uthsc.edu. We can let you know if it is a legitimate message or if you are being phished.
Two of the modules in the Information Security Training is about Social Engineering and Email, Phishing and Messaging. These along with the other modules are helpful information for everyone personally.
Make sure you and your coworkers have completed the Information Security Training for the 2017-18 academic year. The information you receive is very much worth the 30-40 minutes of your time. (And it is required training.)
