Watch out for fraudulent emails regarding banking

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

We’re still receiving complaints from users who fall victim to cyber criminals by blindly submitting their banking details via email. (see example below) Staff are once again warned under NO circumstances to do any activation of your bank details by clicking on a link in an email. Pay attention to the following: –  Your bank will never send you an email requesting personal and confidential information. – The address where the email is sent from is not an official bank email address. It might seem similar, but if you look closely you’ll notice small differences. – Take note of the address where the link diverts you to when you click on it. You will immediately notice it’s not a typical bank web address, but something completely unrelated. – You will also see that your name is never mentioned in the email. It’s a generic email sent to random people to harvest their information. If any irregularities occur on your account, your bank will call you. You also won’t receive an email from them if a large amount is deposited into your bank account. Remember, a cyber criminal knows what will grab your attention. If you have any doubts, rather contact your bank directly and make sure.

Spam attack on Faculty of Health Sciences email

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Staff from the Faculty of Health Sciences have been getting mails regarding the end of the world with the subject line: “www.getoutofjailfree-captivitytosinandsatan.com” sent from someone called Sherrell Price-Watts.

This person or group is busy combing the  webpages of the university (currently the Faculty of Health Sciences site)  and capturing all the mail addresses of department heads, personal assistants etc. and sending them mail pointing them to this site. This sort of “spam attack” is both a nuisance and has some serious security risks.

Here is a quick method to filter this sort of nonsense out of your mailbox quickly and efficiently. Is as follows: (Using Outlook 2010, but Office 2007’s method is almost the same) Click on the Home tab and then Rules…Create Rule… If the “offending mail was highlighted in your [InBox] it will fill in some of the possible filters like “who is it from” and “Subject” etc. Select the filter you want to impose (I suggest work on the Subject Line with the “www.getout ofjailfree…“) Then click on the “Move the item to folder” option and then select “Deleted Items” and OK. The filter is now set and will be filtered out of your mailbox and deleted as soon as it appears.
