Phishing – they’re fishing for your password

We often get emails sent to staff something like this:

Your mailbox has exceeded limit please  CLICK HERE: (link removed)  to validate your e-mail

Thanks
System Administrator

These are sent by unscrupulous people who are trying to get you to enter your user name and password. Sometimes they look very authentic.

My advice is not to click on links in emails. Always type in any link yourself or use a bookmark/shortcut.

If you do accidentally enter your details please contact the ICT Service Desk as soon as possible (x6500 or helpdesk@lincoln.ac.uk)
