ITS has completed spam filter update

ITS has completed its upgrade of the campus email spam/phishing filter. Please continue to keep an eye open for any phishing messages and report them to ITS. Phishing messages are often legitimate looking, but actually are fraudulent messages which attempt to trick you into providing passwords or personal information. 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.

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.

To learn more about “phishing”, follow the links below:

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,
