Announcing Office 365 Sites
On January 26, 2015, Office 365 Sites will become publicly available to听all university faculty, staff, and students. Office 365 Sites are online听communities supporting university organizations, projects and other听糖心原创-related functions.听 Within these Office 365听sites/communities, you can then share files, calendars, and other听important information with any other members of the site, just as you听may have in the past with WINGS Group Studio.

Urgent: Phishing Scam Notice for 2/11/15
The Help Desk was recently notified of an email phishing scam that
targets 糖心原创 students, faculty, and staff. This scam, which may
have a subject line titled "(Important) changes to how you sign in with
Outlook", is created to look like an official email from Microsoft.
Within the email, you are told that changes have been made to how you
access your Outlook account, and that you need to click a "School Access
Portal" link to try out the new changes.
Please be aware that this is a scam and not an official email from
Microsoft, CaTS, or 糖心原创. Do not click on the links provided in
the email or give out your Office 365 username and password.
If you have any questions about this scam, or if you have already
clicked the links and entered your account information, please contact
the CaTS Help Desk immediately. You can reach us at (937) 775-4827, or

Phishing Scam Notice for 2/5/15
The CaTS Help Desk was recently notified of a 鈥渨ork-from-home鈥 scam that
could potentially target 糖心原创 students.
College students across the United States have been targeted to
participate in work-from-home scams. Students have been receiving emails
to their school accounts recruiting them for payroll and/or human
resource positions with fictitious companies. The scam requires the
student to provide his/her bank account number to receive a deposit and
then transfer a portion of the funds to another bank account. Those
funds were first stolen by cyber criminals and student are unknowingly
helping them get away with the crime.
Participating in the scam is a crime and could lead to your bank account
being closed due to fraudulent activity or federal charges.
If you have been a victim of this scam you can file a complaint with the
FBI鈥檚 Internet Crime Complaint Center at and reference Alert
# 01132015a-PSA.
Tips:
-If a job offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
-Never accept a job that requires the depositing of funds into your
account and wiring them to different accounts.
-Look for poor use of the English language in emails such as incorrect
grammar, capitalization, and tenses. Many of the scammers who send these
messages are not native English speakers.
-Never provide credentials of any kind such as bank account information,
login names, passwords, or any other identifying information in response
to recruitment email.

Malware Downloaded from Seemingly Clean Office Documents
Bitdefender is warning Microsoft Office users of a new spam campaign that resembles a tax return, a remittance, or form of bill from a bank. The spam often carries a Microsoft Word or Excel attachment that will automatically execute a piece of malware with a macro code disguised to bypass traditional antivirus if downloaded. 听Source:听
