ShareRecent cybersecurity incidents at ACU and in the higher education sector remind us of the importance of remaining vigilant.
Last week ACU was targeted by scam emails that impersonated ACU staff. The hackers posed as ACU staff members and contacted HR staff requesting their bank details be updated. Scam and phishing emails can take many forms. However, there are a range of red flags to help you recognise a potential scam email.
What to look out for
Look out for:
If you see a notification that an email originated outside of ACU, check the email address is legitimate and from someone you know and trust. Similarly, if you see a link in a suspicious email message, don't click on it. Rest your mouse (but don't click) on the link to see if the address matches the link that was typed in the message.
What to do if you receive a suspicious email
If in doubt, report any suspicious email via the ‘report message’ button in Outlook or submit a Service Central request with the details to the Cyber team.
A recent cybersecurity attack on Deakin University highlighted the importance of keeping login information secure. Past and present student records at Deakin University were compromised after a hacker gained access via a staff member’s username and password.
