New phishing message distributed on campus

This morning we received word of a new phishing e-mail being distributed on campus. (see example below) Please note that the message below is NOT from the University’s IT department. All our e-mails will be branded and in both Afrikaans and English. Ignore these e-mails and delete them. Other signs to look out for are:

1. The e-mail is never addressed to you personally – it’s a generic heading. (e.g. Dear client)
2. It asks the receiver to divulge personal information, for example your ID number, password or username.
3. The e-mail asks you to click on a link to “activate” your account. Don’t click on any links in e-mails (unless it’s an official IT e-mail) and also don’t copy and paste it in your web browser.
4. Usually a short time limit is given, for example “within 24 hours”.
5. Make sure the request is official and legal by calling the company and confirming.
6. Do not send sensitive information by e-mail. Legitimate companies won’t ask you to send data by e-mail.
