Information Technology Services DECEMBER 11, 2020 As many of our staff and students continue operating remotely during the global pandemic, basic security measures need to be taken to protect us from cyber criminals who are taking advantage of institutions and individuals during the crisis. To support our campus community in staying safe online, we have provided several tips and reminders that will not only help raise awareness of potential cyber pitfalls, but also learn how to avoid them. Case in point, in previous weeks an ordinary appearing email with the subject ‘Reminder to sign document University Arkansas Little Rock School’ was mailed from a non-campus sender to a campus user. This type of email is particularly dangerous as it not only contains malicious code that leads to data loss, but worse, this email has a ‘tracking’ device that allows the criminal sending it to know exactly when it was viewed, what device was used, and where the user is located.
