URGENT: Be Aware of Phishing

We would like to warn everyone to remain vigilant for scams. Cyber criminals may send phishing emails with malicious attachments or links to fraudulent websites to trick victims into revealing sensitive information. Exercise caution in handling any email that appears to be related to Denison from a non-Denison account.

We encourage individuals to remain vigilant and take the following precautions:

  • Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails and be wary of email attachments
  • Use trusted sources
  • Do not reveal personal or financial information in email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information

The types of emails you may receive to get your attention to click a malicious link or open an attachment include:

  • Fake school emails that provide information about a particular Denison group (e.g.; students, faculty, etc.)
  • Emails requesting information from you

If you feel you have received a phishing email please report it as phishing in Gmail. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.
