Please take note that there’s a new phishing attack on sun e-mail addresses. We’ve blocked it on server level, so users should not receive the suspicious e-mail.
If you receive an email claiming to be from the IT department (see example below), do not open it or click on any of the links.
This is a phishing email attempting to acquire your passwords and other information. Immediately delete the email and do not reply to it.
IT e-mails will always be in the same format with IT’s name, correct contact details, the SU logo and and English and Afrikaans version. Please read our guidelines on how to distinguish between an offical e-mail and a phishing e-mail HERE.
