The University has been receiving many phishing emails recently. Specifically, we are seeing emails with attachments pretending to be from Amazon or similar. Please remember not to open attachments from unknown or unexpected sources.
Can you spot a phishing email?
Phishing emails are designed to lure you into disclosing personal details by impersonating a genuine business or institution.

We’ve produced a fact sheet that will help you spot the tell-tale signs of phishing email - before you’re caught out.
