Be aware of phishing

Following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is calling on all UK organisations to increase their vigilance for cyber attacks.

It is clear that various groups are now using this crisis as an opportunity to launch new phishing email attacks. For example, there are scams asking people to "Help Ukraine" and other scams are based on fake reports of "unusual sign-on activity"

You must always be very wary of any email which wants you to enter personal details or transfer money. The NCSC provides guidance on how to spot scam emails.

If you are unsure of the safety of any emails you receive please contact the Informatics Computing Team via the support form linked from our help site.
