We are currently seeing an increase in phishing attempts targeting Kent staff and student email accounts.
If you see high levels of spam in your inbox, please do not open or respond to them. Report as Phishing using the “Report” button in the Outlook toolbar, or you can just delete them.
Do not respond to Teams calls from someone claiming to be from IT Support offering to help with this spam. Before accepting any offer of assistance, please contact IT and Library Support using the details below to verify the caller is actually from IS.
If you have already experienced this and been contacted via Teams to install something, please let us know as soon as possible. We operate a “no blame” culture and you will not be in trouble, we just need to verify that your account and our systems are still secure.
What we’re doing to prevent attacks
Information Services are already taking active measures to reduce the impact, but your assistance is essential to help keep your data and our services and systems safe.
Thank you
