Computer & Digital Security
The FSU Police Department receives many complaints about internet scams, including phishing, online auction fraud and identity theft, to the old ‘work from home and make lots of money’ offers. We would like you to be aware of these typical scams, so you can avoid being victimized.
The Information Security and Privacy Office (ISPO) under FSU Information Technology Services (ITS) oversees IT security at FSU. Visit security.fsu.edu for more information.
For questions or concerns contact the ITS Service Desk, (850) 644-HELP(4357), or email security@fsu.edu.
Phishing: If you receive email you suspect may be a phishing attempt, forward the email with all headers attached to:phishing@antiphishing.org, and spam@uce.gov. If the email comes through a campus email account, it can be forwarded, with all headers attached, to abuse@fsu.edu.
Do not respond, do not click on any links, and if you suspect something is awry with your account, contact the company via a reputable point of contact, not the information found in the email.
