UITS news for July 27, 2022
New phishing tool helps keep your data safe
IU security officials report an uptick in thieves trying to steal your data via phishing scams.
Forward suspicious emails to phishing@iu.edu with full headers and use IU’s newly installed phishing tool, the Microsoft Report Message add-on, which replaced the PhishMe add-on.
Be aware. No one at IU will ever ask you for a Duo Mobile passcode, or to approve a Duo Push request.

IU is offering a new tool, Duo Self-Service Portal, to help you manage Two-Step Login (Duo) devices. The portal helps you reactivate Duo Mobile on a new phone and enables SMS (text) or phone calls to authenticate and set up an alternate device such as the Duo Mobile app.
Search for Duo Self-Service Portal at One.IU. Questions? Email talk2ims@iu.edu.
