A single careless mistake, such as filling in your personal information or credentials in a phishing email, can lead both you and the University to fall victim to cybercrime. To combat this threat, ITSC needs your strong support to report any phishing emails you came across.  This is an important piece of information for ITSC to take immediate actions to quickly block phishing-related emails, weblinks, and attachments, preventing others from falling into the same trap.
