What is a scam (phishing) email? What should I do if I receive a scam (phishing) email?

A

After receiving scam (phishing) mail, do not reply or click on the links in the mail!!

While NCKU has many academic and administrative staff and students and adopts an open control policy for academics, information security management at NCKU is not as stringent as that of private businesses, leaving much room for external cyberattacks.

If you receive mail messages from “uncommon senders,” with “suspicious subject,” or contain contents similar to the following, they are all scam (phishing) mail. Please stay alert and do not be fooled. Do not reply with any personal account or password data or click on the links contained in the mail to prevent breaches of personal account or password data or implantation of Trojan and backdoor programs.

If you unintentionally click on the links or reply any personal account or password data, please change the email password and contact the email administrator of the Computer and Network Center (ext. 61016) as quickly as possible.
