Since Thursday May 15, 2008, the University of Arkansas campus has again had fraudulent email messages directed to campus accounts.  The messages purport to being from the university administration and has a subject line of "Confirm Your E-mail Address".  The attacker attempts to pursuade the unsuspecting user to hand over their account password.   As a reminder, the University will NEVER send a message like this.

Users are urged to ignore the message, or any similar fraudulent message. 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.

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.
