Don’t get caught out! A handy refresher on how to spot the scammers

Unsettling times of crisis and confusion provide an ideal opportunity for email scammers to catch people off-guard.

Criminal organisations are targeting medical research facilities with Covid-19 themed phishing emails, fake mobile apps, and fake web advertising.

We’re also aware of a phishing email which suggests ‘you have a new document from OneDrive’.  It appears to be sent by a member of the University or someone you know, but it’s not a genuine email and should just be deleted. 

We’ve created a short cyber-security refresher quiz to help you spot the scammers. It covers the following topics:

  • Understand why we need to keep certain types of information secure
  • Identify the types of information we need to protect
  • Understand the potential impact of a data breach
  • Remember practical steps we can take to keep information secure
