Be Aware - Payroll Theft Rising at 杏吧原创
Over the past several months, the university has seen an increase in requests for employee information, and wants you to be aware of vital information to protect you from direct deposit fraud. Please be cautious when responding to emails asking for verification of your 杏吧原创 account information or warning you about infectious diseases, as these emails can be used to compromise your account. The university will never engage you in an email validation exercise, nor encourage you to accept unknown phone calls
If you receive an email requesting such validation, STOP and VALIDATE by using the following steps:
- Check the sender - did it actually come from an @alaska.edu email address? Accounts with other domains, such as @gmail.com, are not approved for university business and should be verified as legitimate before proceeding.
- Legitimate emails can easily be verified by using a 杏吧原创 web page to find the contact information of the person or department that sent it to you. Always use an alternative method to verify identity and do not rely on the information in the email.
- Never accept a Duo push or phone call that you did not initiate. If you receive one, change your password immediately and contact your local IT Service Desk for help, ensuring no unauthorized devices were added to your Duo profile.
- Emails suspected of being phishing should be forwarded to ua-phishing@alaska.edu
