Information about fraudulent e-mails - phishing e-mails
What is a phishing trap?
In the attachment you can see a typical and easily recognizable phishing e-mail, which was also received by our university in the past few days and unfortunately achieved its nasty purpose.
The aim of the 'phishers' is to find out your account and password in order to misuse this data.
see de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
You may be harmed by this yourself or others may be harmed under your name....
Hints for recognizing phishing mails
Recipients are not you personally, but e.g. 'undisclosed-recipient'. The text is not personal, does not contain a personal salutation, does not contain a correct name.
The link does not lead to servers of our university. A 'threat' is staged, which should cause you to act (quickly) (e.g. block the e-mail account). Text, content and signature do not correspond to the usual e-mails - such as this one...
If the sender 'From:' reads one of our HS addresses, this is no guarantee that it is actually this person.
Please be careful with your personal data! Never enter your access data on dubious websites!
Never reveal your password! Remain critical when dealing with WWW services!
<strong>In case of doubt: ask at the ZIMT.</strong>
!!! If you have already 'fallen in', please change your password immediately and inform us !!!!
