Though spam, phishing, and other attempts to obtain personal information via email are nothing new, we’d like to remind everyone that these types of threats are real and that Gmail is not immune to the most sophisticated attempts.

When using your Simmons email, please be aware of these threats. If you receive an email that you know is suspicious, you should report it to the Service Desk and click SPAM in the Gmail toolbar above the email.

For more information about safe computing, please read this FAQ and, for more information about phishing scams in particular, please see this FAQ on the Service Desk website. If you have questions about phishing or need guidance in a particular situation, please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222.
