Annual Cybersecurity awareness month kickoff
content body
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and throughout the month, Auburn’s Office of Information Technology will highlight common online threats and share simple ways you can help protect yourself, your information, and the Auburn community
Each week, we’ll focus on a different cybersecurity topic:
Week 1: Phishing & Fake Sign-In Pages
Phishing messages aren’t always easy to spot. This week, we’ll focus on common phishing attempts, with a special look at fake sign-in pages designed to steal your Auburn credentials.
Looking for tickets to the big game or another campus event? Scammers know it—and they’re ready to take advantage. We’ll highlight common ticket scams targeting students and ways to spot a fraudulent offer before you send your money.
Not every job opportunity is what it seems. We’ll take a closer look at phishing scams disguised as student employment opportunities, including warning signs that can help you identify a suspicious job offer.
Stay tuned throughout October for weekly tips, examples, and resources from OIT. A little awareness can go a long way toward protecting your account and information.
