Nuwe “phishing” e-pos veroorsaak verwarring

Indien u `n e-pos ontvang met onderstaande inhoud wat lyk of dit deur die US IT-afdeling gestuur is, moet onder geen omstandighede op die skakels kliek of daarop antwoord nie.

Hierdie is `n “phishing” e-pos wat poog om u wagwoord en ander inligting te oes. Verwyder dadelik die e-pos en moenie daarop reageer nie.

IT sal nooit gebruikers vra om hulle gebruikersname, wagwoorde of persoonlike inligting te verskaf deur middel van `n e-pos boodskap nie. Daar is ook `n paar ander tekens dat dit `n “phishing” e-pos is.

  1. As dit `n boodskap van IT was, sou dit sekere identifiseerbare kenmerke gehad het en dit sou in Engels en Afrikaans gewees het.
  2. Die grammatika is buitengewoon sleg. 
  3. Universiteitspersoneel is “users”, nie “subscribers” nie.
  4. Dis e-pos is `n leesbare, onsekure, maklik toeganklike formaat – hoekom sou IT vra dat jy jou wagwoord op so `n onsekure wyse verskaf? 
  5. Daar bestaan geen support@sun.ac.za e-pos adres nie.
  6. As jy wel op die “default reply” adres kliek, sal jy dadelik sien dis eintlik `n vreemde adres.
  7. Die skakels en die versender/bediener se oorsprong is in Korea.
