HEY BOBCATS!
Summer temperatures are finally rising up—a sweet time of year for boaters and floaters.
But something less desirable has been on the rise, too. "Over the Summer term, we’ve
seen more than 15,000 phishing and work-from-home scam emails sent to COCC employees
and students," Wesley Dymond, information security administrator, tells Bobcat eNews.
Phishing emails are emails pretending to be from an IT department or some other trusted
entity. They’ll indicate that your account has a problem, and if you click the link
in the email and login, they'll steal your password and use your email account to
send phishing emails. The work-from-home scam requests your name, address, phone and
sometimes bank information—all to be used for nefarious purposes. They may even issue
a false paycheck: After the work is performed, they simply report the check as fraudulent
and the funds are eliminated.
"While ITS and InfoSec work hard to thwart cyber criminals, the best defense against
malicious emails is critical thinking," adds Dymond. Any suspicious emails, he says,
should be forwarded to: abuse@cocc.edu.
