UITS warns students of Webmail scamming

Students should not reply to an e-mail requesting Webmail password information, University Information Technology Services Macintosh Consultant Jim Robbins said.\nThe e-mail tells the recipient to “verify” his or her account by replying with his or her username, password, date of birth and country or territory.\n“Whoever’s doing the spamming has to do with the University,” he said, but UITS does not yet know who it is.\nIf a student replies to the e-mail, his or her Webmail account becomes locked. Robbins advised students who have received the e-mail to delete it. However, Robbins said students who have responded to the e-mail should change their password or passphrase immediately and e-mail valid@indiana.edu with their name, username and what happened.
