Attention
-
University communities are prime targets for phishing emails. The goal of these emails is to maliciously obtain an individual’s personal information by impersonating a credible source. The attack is an effort to access your username, passwords, social security number, credit card numbers, etc.
Information Technology will not ask for your personal or account information in an email. Always question email requests of this type. Providing this information could compromise your account and the accounts of others on campus. IT has security measures in place that attempt to block spam and phishing emails, but some will make it through.
The section below represents phishing emails that have been shared with the Department of Information Technology. To expand the full message, click on the tabs below.
If you believe that you have received a phishing email, and it is not displayed in the list below, please report it here.

Date: 10/10/2017
Hello,
I do not presume to judge you, but as a result of several cases, we have point of contact from now. I do not think that caress oneself is very ill, but when all your relatives, colleagues and friend see it- its definitely awful.
So, closer to the point. You surfed the internet with роrn, which I’ve seized with the virus. After you chose video, virus started working and your device became acting as dedicated desktop since that moment. Naturally, all cams and screen started recording instantly and then my soft collected all contacts from your device.
I text you on this e-mail address, cuz I’ve collected it with my soft, and I make no doubt you for sure control this work e-mail.
The most interesting point that I created video, on one side it shows your screen record, on second your cams record. Its very funny. But it was sophisticated .
As a conclusion- if you want me to erase all this compromising evidence, here is my Bitcoin wallet address- ~REDACTED~ (it must be without «spaces» or «=aquo;,check it). If you do not know how to use it, you can ask google or youtube for help- its very easy. It seems to me, that 350 usd will finish your problem and will destroy our point of contact . You have thirty hours after opening this message(I put special pixel in it, ill know when you open it). If you will not finish transaction, ill share the evidence with all contacts I’ve collected from you.
I do not think that cops can find me for only one day(not even 10 days), so think twice, you can lose your honor. Sorry for misprints, I am foreign.
