Scam email bugs students

A fraudulent email has been sent to a number of Trinity students requesting their account details and College password. The email, which was sent out in late January, claims to “upgrade your account”, which will otherwise “be suspended temporarily from our services”. Although the message was not sent from a Trinity mail address, it cites the Trinity homepage and Myzone email, posing as a “web administrator”.
IS Services Helpdesk say they are “aware of the email”, which has now been blocked. They are assuring students not to reply to it. “IS Services will never request your account details via email”, says a helpdesk spokesmen, who advises such emails should be “considered fraudulent and deleted”. It is not known whether any students have been victim to the scam.
