If You See Something, Say Something
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Please report all suspicious activity and unauthorized access to computers, software, and websites to the Office of Information Security
Protect your password
Administration Regulation 6006 specifically prohibits the sharing of login credentials. Never provide your password to anyone: not your coworker, not your boss, not ITS.
Don’t be a victim of phishing!
Forward all suspicious emails to Report a Phish. No one, not even ITS, should ask for your password or send emails or texts soliciting you to log in with your account. If someone does, they are phishing. If you do give your password to someone, immediately change it in the Viking Portal.
