Stay safe online: beware of phishing



Please be aware that there are active phishing campaigns specifically targeting students and staff at UK Universities.

Phishing to students includes emails asking that they “update their account information.”

We would ask all students and staff to be aware of this threat.  Here are some useful tips to avoid getting caught out:-

•         Be wary of emails from unknown senders, especially those asking you to confirm information
•         Never click links or open attachments from emails that you are not expecting
•         Most importantly – if in doubt, get it checked out!

We also suggest that you view the following short video regarding Staying Safe online that has been produced in conjunction with Beds SU:
