Keep in mind:

• [EXTERNAL]  is now in your incoming emails to stand as a warning -- THIS EMAIL DID NOT COME FROM INSIDE THE UTSA system. 
• DO NOT conduct UTSA business using NON-UTSA resources, ex. GMAIL, YAHOO, etc.
• DO NOT click on links in emails, rather, go to source, ex. go to the Internet and type in the URL.
• ALWAYS look at the TO: line and ask yourself…  is this a UTSA address? Do I know this person?

Subject: Beware: Fake Emails on the Rise

Good afternoon,

Phishing and other email scams are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and compelling. Recent attacks include attempts to impersonate university faculty or staff using Gmail instead of the utsa.edu domain. Please note that UTSA business should never be conducted via personal email accounts. To help prevent these attacks, all email messages not originating from official UTSA email servers or services now include [EXTERNAL] in the subject line as well as a disclaimer at the top of the email body: “This email originated outside of The University of Texas at San Antonio. Please exercise caution when clicking on links or opening attachments.”  

If you have questions about the legitimacy of an email or suspect that you have entered your information on a fake UTSA login page, please notify UTS immediately at 210-458-5555. Please review all emails with caution. Diligence from all UTSA email users is the key to reducing this problem.

Thank you,

University Technology Solutions
