The University of Canterbury has been receiving unusually high levels of phishing scams recently which is resulting in numerous calls to our Service Desk. While we do not normally object to this it is creating a high workload for Service Desk staff. Could you please advise your colleagues that if they do receive any messages which looks like a scam to just delete it. ICT Services will continue to monitor spam activity and stop what they can. Can you also advise your staff to never divulge personal or confidential information to any message they did not expect no matter who it comes from. For example usercode and password is frequently used to access our Exchange servers and use them to send even more spam.
