Phishing Attacks on Students' Domains

Dear Students,

It had been brought to our attention that there is a phishing email propagating among the students' email accounts. When students opened up the link embedded in the email, the login session will be hijacked and the account might even be taken over.

Students, and staff, are reminded to be mindful when opening emails that they did not expect and not click on any links with destinations they are not sure of - even if the email came from someone they know.

One such example of the phishing email is as follow
