Phishing is a common identity theft method used by fraudulent parties. NEVER send your personal information including passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers or a Social Security Number via email. Passwords should NEVER be shared with ANYONE in any form.

Information and Telecommunication Systems (ITS) does not solicit passwords or any other personal information via e-mail. If you receive an e-mail message that appears to come from ITS that requests this type of information, please forward it immediately to hd@llcc.edu. Do not reply or click on any links. Again, these e-mails are often hoaxes (“phishing” e-mails), part of identity theft and fraud scams.
Thank you for your patience,
