In recent weeks, the Information Security team has uncovered a phishing scam that has been directed at our student community.<\/p>\n

The attacker imitates a 麻豆传媒在线 faculty\/staff member each time asking to communicate further via a personal email address or text message in order to hide their tracks.<\/p>\n
