Wire Transfer Email Warning

In the last few days, university email accounts have received messages referring to wire fund transfers or similar subjects. These messages are spam and should be ignored. These messages also encourage the receiver to download a PDF file or access a website for further information. In either case, it is likely a virus or other form of malware.

Information Technology Services recommends that users be cautious about files sent in email from an unknown source.
