October is National CyberSecurity Awaareness Month (NCSAM) and throughout the month, ITS Security will be providing tips and tricks for staying safe online. This week's topic is protecting yourself from phishing or other email scams. Be wary of  unsolicited emails with links that ask you to confirm or upgrade your account, include unexpected attachments, or try to scare you into taking urgent action. Be suspicious of unsolicited job offers or business opportunites that sound too good to be true or request you to cash checks and wire money to a third party. Suspicious emails can be forwarded to abuse@memphis.edu.For more information on using email safety, please visit www.memphis.edu/its/security/phishing.php
