Reminder: Beware of email phishing

March 22, 2013

In the wake of several email phishing scams at Concordia, we wish to remind everyone to please delete any such emails immediately.  

Phishers send out mass emails to targeted recipients with the hopes of at least a few recipients replying with their personal information. Unfortunately, Concordia is often targeted due to the large number of account holders.

Concordia University will never ask for your personal information by phone, email, or URL unless it is in response to a support request you have initiated. Concordia University will never ask for your password, nor should businesses, banks, and other institutions. Please take the time to read our  email phishing FAQ .

If you clicked on a malicious URL or replied to a phishing email with your username and password, or any other personal information, please change your email account password immediately. If you use those credentials for multiple accounts it is recommended that you change the password for each account. 

If you are ever unsure of the authenticity of an email, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the IITS Service Desk at (514) 848-2424, ext. 7613 or email  help@concordia.ca .
