Phishing-waarskuwing: Opname oor portuurbeoordeling

Dis geen geheim dat feitlik enigiets op die internet nagemaak kan word nie – werksverwysings, nuus, akademiese kwalifikasies en wetenskap.

Akademiese joernale wat belangrike universiteitsnavorsing, soos die waarmee Stellenbosch te doen kry, moet die toename van onegte portuur beoordelings hanteer.Bedrogskemas, wat hulself versteek as akademiese joernale en betaling eis om verhandelinge te aanvaar en publiseer, sonder enige portuur beoordeling, is algemeen. Die portuurbeoordelingsproses self word nou egter gekraak deur middel van derde-party dienste wat betaal kan word op portuur beoordelings vir verhandelings te versin.

Identiteitsdiefstal is in baie gevalle ook betrokke en werklike wetenskaplikes besef nie dat hulle identiteite gesteel is met die doel om vals portuur beoordelings uit te reik nie.

Onder is `n e-pos wat gestuur is aan een van ons voorste navorsers waarin hy/sy lastig geval word met die versoek om `n opname oor die portuur beoordelingsproses te voltooi. Alhoewel dit onskadelik voorkom, het die webwerf retractionwatch.com gewys dat hierdie spesifieke opname aangemeld is as `n moontlike bron van identiteitsdiefstal, malware en phishing. Gevaarlike dele van die e-pos is verwyder.

Indien jy betrokke is by die skryf, indien en beoordeel van verhandelinge, wees bewus van die mynveld van kriminele wat slegs jou goeie naam en reputasie vir hulle eie geldelike voordeel en status wil misbruik.
