Beware of Phishing Emails
What are Phishing Emails?
From Wikipedia:
In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging,[1] and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used.[2] Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users.[3] Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical measures.
How Can I Protect Myself?
Reputable sources will not ask you to reply to emails with personal information such as passwords, date of birth, or social security numbers. Check out Informations Service's Phishing Website for more info and examples of current emails being sent.
REMINDER: Blocked E-mail Attachments
2008.02.19 — 13:30 CDTEffective August 18, 2004, Information Services expanded the list of blocked attachments types on the Lotus Notes and Unlserve e-mail servers. With e-mail attachments continuing to be a primary method for viruses being introduced to campus, we have expanded the number of attachment types blocked to include: .ade, .adp, .bas, .bat, .chm, .cmd, .com, .cpl, .crt, .exe, .hlp, .hta, .ins, .inf, .isp, .js, .jse, .lnk, .mda, .mde, .mdz, .msc, .msi, .msp, .mst, .pcd, .pif, .reg, .scr, .sct, .shs, .url, .vb, .vbe, .vbs, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh. This also includes .zip files that contain any of the previously mentioned extensions.
For users that need to send files of this type, the best alternative is to utilize UNL DropBox.
Attachment Restriction for Lotus Notes
2007.11.12 — 08:25 CDTThe attachment limit on Lotus Notes servers is now 85 MB. This is being done as part of an overall process to increase productivity and reliability for all users of e-mail at UNL. For users that need to send files that are larger than the 85 MB limit, the best alternative is to utilize UNL DropBox. This is a free service offered by Information Services that allows you to upload a file and in return get a link that can be pasted into a message. The recipient then just has to click the link to begin downloading the file.
