Over the holiday weekend, a number of spam and phishing emails started making the rounds. These emails contained subject lines such as: “Urgent Action Required” and “SUMMER-REMOTE JOB OPPORTUNITY!!”. Please be skeptical of unsolicited and unexpected emails that contain links, ask you to take some sort of immediate action, or ask you for your password(s). Even if these messages appear to be coming from a Bryn Mawr email or use Bryn Mawr branding, they are fraudulent. Do not respond to these 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.
