With most students and personnel all working from home during the national lockdown, and with the reduced security (and watchfulness) of home computers and personnel/students in their home environment, and with many forced to use unfamiliar means of communication and collaboration like Teams, Zoom, Skype and Skype For Business, the environment is ripe for exploitation by phishers.
The following e-mail (with an infected attachment) is making its rounds at the moment from a staff email.
If you get an email that look like the following do not open or respond to it. It is quite likely that the personnel doesn’t even know his account is compromised.
Please be careful when opening up attachments “sent” by colleagues especially if they are unannounced or the e-mail makes you feel a bit suspicious. Always trust your instincts.
