Account Verification Emails

They are phishing!

Hello UMBC Community,

As we approach the Fall Semester, the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) has observed an increase in phishing attempts targeting the UMBC community. While we are doing our best to stay on top of these emails, we need your support.

Please do not enter your myUMBC password or your DUO code into Google or Monday Forms. DoIT does not need your password to validate your account, nor are we deactivating accounts. If you encounter either of these campaigns in your mailbox, please forward the email to security@umbc.edu or click the menu with the three dots to “Report Phishing.” This will allow the team to quickly quarantine the message and protect other community members.

Thank you for your support!
