If you receive an email from a sun email account with the subject “To All Faculty\Staff of Stellenbosch University“, asking you to click on a link to upgrade your webmail, please do not respond and provide your information (see example at the bottom of this post).
This is not a legitimate email notification from Information Technology and we will never ask you to give your personal information via an email link. The suspicious email is being sent from a compromised email account and is a clever phishing attempt.
When you click on links and provide your information on phishing emails, criminals will be able to gain access to your personal information. If you clicked on the link of this phishing email, immediately change your password on www.sun.ac.za/password.
For any enquiries please contact the IT Service Desk by logging a request or calling 808 4367. More information on phishing is available on our blog and Twitter.

Indien jy ʼn e-pos ontvang met die onderwerp “To All Faculty\Staff of Stellenbosch University” vanaf ʼn sun e-posadres wat vra dat jy op ʼn skakel kliek om jou webmail op te gradeer, moet asb. nie daarop reageer en jou inligting verskaf nie. (sien voorbeeld onderaan die plasing)
Hierdie is nie ʼn geldige e-pos van Informasietegnologie nie. Ons sal jou nooit versoek om jou inligting in te vul d.m.v. ʼn e-posskakel nie. Die verdagte e-pos word gestuur vanaf ʼn e-pos rekening wat gekompromitteer is en is ʼn slim, geteikende strikroofpoging.
Wanneer jy op skakels in strikroof e-posse kliek en jou inligting verskaf, sal dit deur misdadigers misbruik word om toegang te kry tot jou persoonlike inligting. Indien jy op die skakel in hierdie strikroof e-pos gekliek het, verander onmiddellik jou wagwoord op www.sun.ac.za/password.
Vir navrae, kontak die IT Dienstoonbank deur 808 4367 te skakel of ʼn versoek aan te meld. Meer inligting oor strikroof is beskikbaar op ons blog en Twitter.
