IT Services: Beware e-mail phishing scam

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

UAA Students, Faculty & Staff:

UAA IT Services has been alerted to yet another phishing attempt being sent to many UAA users.

UAA will never request someone to provide identity information such as username and passwords via email. Phishing is a scheme used by criminals to attempt to gain access to personal information by impersonation. The sender of the current phishing mail message has been disabled from sending further messages, but some may find messages still in  inboxes.

Please be aware of anyone who asks for personal identity information. Under no circumstances will any official UAA department ask you to divulge personal identity information via e-mail. If you have concerns about a questionable e-mail message, please contact the UAA IT Call Center immediately at (907) 786-4646, or 1-877-633-3888.
