Phishers keep trying to hook you

• They are constantly targeting the NC State email system.
• Their messages seem to come from an authoritative source within the university.
• They usually ask that you provide your Unity password or click on a link inside the message.
• They claim to need your information to perform some urgent, important system function.

Keep in mind

• Such messages are always fraudulent.
• NC State IT personnel will NEVER ask for your password or your 2FA bypass codes, by email or otherwise.

How to respond

• If you receive a phishing message, do not reply to it.
• Instead, report it as follows:
  1. Open the Gmail message you’d like to report.
  2. At the top-right corner of the message,
  click on the More icon (three vertical dots).
  3. From the list that opens,
  select Report Phishing.
• If you wish to report a spam message received at an ncsu.edu email address from an off-campus host, see Protection from Phishing for details.
