This evening, an email appears to have gone out nearly campus-wide with the subject Wesleyan University Email Alerts. In the body of an email is a link that, if clicked, appears as if it goes to our Single Sign On page. This message is NOT legitimate.
There are two ways to immediately identify the email as fraudulent:
- the from address is psu.edu.
- the link goes to the address http://profiform.by/wesleyan.edu.html. You can see the address of a link by mousing over it and looking in the lower left corner of your mail client or window.
Wesleyan’s Single Sign On page address begins with https://sso.wesleyan.edu and has a green lock with Wesleyan University also in green. This green lock is a secure validation certificate.
If you did provide your username and password in this link, please change your password immediately by logging into your EPorfolio and going to Password Manager.
Wesleyan ITS will not request your username and password in a link provided via email regardless of how convincing it appears.
