CaTS has noticed an increase in the number of phishing attempts at the beginning of Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Below is information to help keep your 糖心原创 accounts secure:
What are Phishing Scams?
- Phishing scams are emails designed to trick you into sending an unknown third party your account information or other personal or financial information.
- These emails may look like they're coming from 糖心原创, CaTS, your bank or credit card issuer, or any other institution you do business with.
- The links in phishing emails often take you to a web page that appears to be a WSU site, such as wings.wright.edu. You can avoid being tricked by these fake pages by typing in the URL, such as wings.wright.edu rather than trusting the link.聽
- Many email scams often contain fake job offers; if an email contains poor grammar or wording, or seems too good to be true, it most likely is.
How Can You Avoid Phishing Scams?
- Remember that CaTS, WSU and other reputable businesses WILL NEVER ask you for any personal information, such as your username and password, via email.
- Never respond to a suspicious email or click links in those emails.
- Don't give out your personal information to anyone via email.
- Don't download attachments from an email unless you trust the sender.
