Cybersecurity Tips
- Be alert for fraud. Bad actors often scrape information from data dumps or from social media to open accounts in your name. Be alert! Paying close attention is key. If you get a notice about a new account, but you know you did not apply for one, be suspicious. Commonly, this is a phish, but it can also be a fraudster working to scam you, UC, or a financial institution. Ask your security team if you have any questions and, if you have not already, sign up for credit monitoring.
-
Don't be fooled by a phish. UC community members get phishing e-mail. Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to electronically acquire sensitive information by masquerading as a trustworthy individual or entity. Some phishing attempts are very sophisticated and will specifically target smaller groups. Always be suspicious of any email asking for monetary goods or personal and account information. Your management will never ask you to buy gift cards and read the numbers to them!
