Phishing can steal your identity!

"Phishing" scams are the use of fraudulent emails or other solicitations to lure users into sharing personal information that can be used for identity theft or other illegal activities. These messages often ask users to enter their sensitive information at a fake website that purports to belong to a legitimate organization.


Remember: No legitimate business (WWU, banks, eBay, etc.) will ever contact you and require that you share your personal information (bank numbers/PIN, security questions, passwords, etc.)


If you have any questions about the legitimacy of an email or instant message, please contact the ATUS Help Desk or your technical support staff.


Don't get hooked like a phish! Don't respond to these emails! Delete them!
