Fraudulent Email Sent to UAF Campus Users
On February 21, 2008, hackers have once again attempted to fool University of Arkansas account holders through an email scam. This attack purports to originate from the administrator of uark.edu accounts, and claims that individual accounts will be removed if the message is not responded to.
As with the December 2007 incident, this message is completely fraudulent and should be ignored by all uark.edu account holders. University IT Services (formerly Computing Services) is taking steps to filter these messages.
However, users that may have replied to the email message should immediately change their password using PASSweb (http://www.uark.edu/passweb) to prevent unauthorized access to their account.
Additionally, University IT Services WILL NOT send messages requesting user account passwords or other personal information to be communicated via email.
For questions, comments, or concerns, please contact the UITS Help Desk at 575-2901 or email the IT Security Group at security @ uark.edu.
