Scam emails regularly ask UNE users to verify personal information by email. These emails represent a threat to your security and the UNE network. Here’s what to do.

UNE has received a lot of emails over recent weeks requesting that staff or students ‘confirm’ their personal details by email. Such scams are common and present a serious threat to the security of UNE’s network. Recently UNE was blacklisted by some anti-spam filters as a result of a breech of UNEs network.

Be highly suspicious of any request to reveal your username or password. ITD will never request your login details by email. ITD may need to request your details in relation to a problem we are dealing with but this will only ever be done verbally by an authorised ITD support representative.

Please do not respond to any emails requesting your login information. Disclosing your account details is a breech of the IT Conditions of Use for Computing Facilities. If you are in any doubt please contact the Service Desk on x5000 or servicedesk@une.edu.au
