Keep in mind:

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
