Phishing Alert
Dear Campus Faculty and Staff,
It has come to the attention of Computing and Communications (C&C) that unknown and unauthorized individuals are calling UC personnel and impersonating "network and academic computing" staff. These individuals ask faculty and staff for their usernames and passwords in order to "fix" issues with their campus accounts.
Please do not respond to these requests for private information. This is a scam and a phishing attempt aimed at obtaining personal information. C&C's Network or Help Desk support teams will never ask you to divulge account information by phone or by emails. We ask you to simply hang up and report the incident to the UCR Police at x25222.
Thank you.
