The following is an ITS System Alert for all users.
Public Safety in partnership with ITS is investigating a phishing scheme perpetrated on one of our students. The student reported that a pop-up message fraudulently representing Apogee asked her to call them and were attempting to gain access to their computer by installing software to hack into her computer (and our) systems.
Please be aware that Apogee does not send pop-up messages in this manner. If you receive a message like this, do not call the number, or engage with this attempt to fraud you in any way. Even though this happened to a student, we are advising all users of our systems to be aware.
Please report all fraudulent attempts to public safety at 274-3333
