<p class="MsoNormal">There is a phishing scam currently targeting OSU Physics, asking for people to send their username and password to what claims to be the Physics IT support group. This is
<b><i>not</i></b> a legitimate message. We will never ask you for your username and password, or other personal information, via email. You should not respond to the message. If you have inadvertently sent your username and password to these thieves, you should
change it immediately. If you are not sure how to change your password, we will be happy to assist you with that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can recognize the bad message because it suggests that Physics accounts have been compromised and then they ask for your username and password. It’s even signed with my name. Any email message that asks for your username and password
should be considered as phishing and you should not respond. You can find additional info on phishing in general, here:
