Reminder: Stay Vigilant Against Phishing Attempts

submitted by vachta@augsburg.edu

Recently, multiple Augsburg accounts were compromised and used to send phishing messages to members of our community. Thank you to the many employees who quickly reported these messages — your vigilance helps protect all of us.

As a reminder:

-Never submit your password or MFA (multi-factor authentication) credentials through a Google Form or any unofficial site. Augsburg will never ask for your login information this way.

-Do not approve MFA requests unless you are actively trying to log into an Augsburg system. An unexpected MFA prompt could be a sign someone else is attempting to access your account.

-If you receive a suspicious message, contact the sender through a separate, trusted method (such as phone) before responding or clicking any links.

-Be cautious and verify before providing any personal information.

Please remember that HR and IT do not send campus-wide announcements for every phishing attempt. Your vigilance and prompt reporting are critical in helping us respond effectively.

Thank you again for your partnership in keeping Augsburg’s systems secure.
