Hello UMBC,
Cybersecurity isn't just a task for IT, it's a 24/7 commitment for our entire community. To help you navigate the ever-changing digital landscape, we are excited to launch the first edition of our cybersecurity newsletter.
In this inaugural issue, we dive into:
- Phishing Defense: How to spot "too good to be true" offers and urgent scams.
- Travel Safety: Keeping your data secure while researching or vacationing abroad.
- Latest Threats: Why you should be wary of TikTok scams and "Quishing" (QR code phishing).
- Policy Updates: Key changes to UMBC's Acceptable Use and Data Protection policies.
Read the newsletter attached!
Remember: If an email feels "off," it probably is. Forward suspicious messages to security@umbc.edu and help keep our campus secure.
Stay smart and stay safe!
