Report a Suspicious Email

Phishing Attacks Quick Guide

Cybercriminals “phish” by email to trick you into revealing your username, passwords, or other sensitive information. Because education is a proven way to protect data and defend against cyberattacks, OneIT sends periodic mock phishing emails to employees.

If you receive an email you believe may be phishing: Do not send a reply, click on a link, or open any attachments. Forward the email to spam@uncc.edu, and OneIT will investigate. If you think you may have fallen victim to a scam email, change your NinerNET password and also contact the One IT Service Desk.

Be cautious when emails include:
-a sense of urgency, grammatical errors, and awkwardly phrased language.
-an unusual “From” address end, especially when it is not only @uncc.edu.
-An embedded link that does not match the URL or website address it allegedly “represents”.

Suspicious email? Report phishing emails.
