New scam email….email Delivery Error for …

Today we have been made aware of the latest scam email circulating. It appears to be from a postmaster account and is regarding emails which have not been able to be delivered to your inbox. It may contain your correct email address and current date. There will be a link in the email to a solution.

Our technical experts have checked and this link takes you to a box requesting you to input your username and password.

This is not a genuine logon window for University resources.

What should I do if I get one of these?
Simple:

  • Don’t click on the link or provide your user credentials
  • Forward the email to the Information Centre (information.centre@stir.ac.uk)

If you have any questions at all, please contact the Information Centre.
Thanks to those staff who have already forwarded examples on to us – by doing so, you’ve helped us take early action and get this message out to the University community.
