Phishing Mails

Always be aware of phishing emails.

Dear all,

Persons from the department management or others from AU's management will never write from email addresses other than au.dk addresses. If in doubt, ask!

You can read more here: Phishing (au.dk), where it is described that:

Phishing is attempted identity theft

Fake emails and SMS are called phishing and smishing and are very common and preferred weapons when cybercriminals try to steal your identity. Some phishing attempts are difficult to see through, and AU's Information Security Department regularly finds that employees and students have inadvertently fallen for the hook.

Therefore, it is important to be careful and learn to spot phishing attempts.
