Recent ƵPhishing Scams

Dear Students,

Be on alert regarding phishing email attacks that are targeting students. If you receive an unexpected email about a “job posting” that asks you to submit your personal and/or bank information, this email is almost certainly a phishing email. Please don’t respond to such emails even if it appears to come from a fellow Ƶstudent or a Ƶprofessor or staff member. These are instances where a Ƶaccount has been compromised and used to send out these scams. Please know that no real job opportunities are ever officially shared this way by CSULB.

You can always check our ongoing list of , which we try to keep up to date. If you are ever in doubt, you can always forward the suspicious email to us at alert@csulb.edu and we can help verify.

See more tips on our Don’t Get Hooked and Spot the Phish articles, and please consider our Top Four MFA Tips for securing your account.
