Summary: We continue to see phishing spam email sent to San Juan College email addresses. The phishing email often states that you are over your mailbox limit or have been inactivated and you need to provide your username and password to keep your email functioning. These emails may look official and may appear to come from OTS; however, they do not. The email may also contain a link and ask you to click on a link to validate or reset your account; OTS will never send an email requesting your username or password.

Never send your username and/or password in email – OTS will never ask you to send your username and password in an email.

Do Not Reply or click on links on suspicious email. If you have already clicked a link or replied to a suspicious email with your username and password, you need to change your password immediately and call the Help Desk at ext. 3266 to let OTS know.

While OTS attempts to catch all spam, spam senders are constantly changing their tactics. They will spoof San Juan College email addresses, valid IP addresses and users making it very difficult to block.

It is important to know that when your account is compromised it puts you and the school at risk. Each of you has access to secure areas that can be accessed with your username and password. Some of these items include student records and personal information. In addition, the compromised accounts are often used to spam other institutions once compromised. This can result in San Juan College being placed on a blacklist which prevents everyone on campus from sending out email.

Your Actions: Do not reply to any email or click on any link that requests your username or password

Never send your username and/or password in email

If you have already replied to a phishing email – change your password immediately and call the Help Desk at ext. 3266
