Phishing Scam Email

During this time of year, it is quite common for “phishing” attacks to be made against educational institutions. While the anti-spam technology in use at Seattle University blocks the vast majority of such attempts, some are bound to get through to your email inboxes. A phishing attempt is a request, usually via an official looking email, to respond with personal or login credential information.

Please be advised that OIT will never request password, user account or other personal information through email. Should you receive an email requesting such information, please delete it immediately.
