SPAM and phishing emails are on the increase at Chattanooga State. Ensuring that our email systems is as clean from SPAM as possible requires all of us to be vigilant. One of the things you can do to prevent spam is to keep your email address off spam lists by keeping it low profile. When you post your email address in an online forum or allow a software tool to collect information on you and your address book, you are not only opening your account to be hacked but everyone in your address book as well.

Chattanooga State Technology has become aware of a new e-mail phishing scam that has been going around.

In a nutshell, the attack invites you to give access to your Google account through a legitimate-looking e-mail request to share a Google doc, and most likely will come from a legitimate-looking e-mail address (see the screenshot at the top of the page). 

If you receive a message of this type, DO NOT CLICK any links, DELETE the message immediately. This will ensure that you don't compromise any campus or personal information.
