This morning, Bryn Mawr community members received a phishing message claiming to be from the Help Desk. This message included a fraudulent link to accept “new terms”. Please be wary of emails like this even if they appear to be coming from a Bryn Mawr email account or use Bryn Mawr branding, they are a scam. Do not respond to the email, click on any links, or fill out any forms. Do NOT share your passwords or Duo passcodes with ANYONE.
If you ever get an email and have questions about what it’s asking you to do, please reach out to the Help Desk (help@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7440). Please feel free to delete any phishing messages you have received.
If you believe you’ve given your password or personal information to a phisher, please change your password immediately and get in touch with the Help Desk.
Email scams come in many forms. While we work to keep you informed, attacks are increasingly diverse and sophisticated. It’s not possible for us to warn you of every message before you see it. Be cautious and suspicious. If you ever have a question or suspicion, don’t hesitate to contact the Help Desk.
