Fake "Outlook Action Required" email

29 Mar 2017

Know how to deal with phishing emails

We've been made aware of a fake email with the subject line "Outlook Action Required!!!" that some staff have received, saying that "The new Outlook Web app for Staff is the new home for online self-service and information." and giving a list of information.

This email is fake, and you should not click on the link.

We're in the process of getting this blocked, but if you ever receive suspicious emails in future, please submit the email to our phishing email address as soon as possible, to help us keep the University safe.

Read the "Help" section on our phishing information page to find out the best way of reporting a phishing email - it's easy and only takes a few seconds:

Staff can also take our "Email Phishing" awareness course, accessible from the course list on Blackboard:
