KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE 
Phishing and spear phishing messages have ramped up during the pandemic. Be vigilant of messages that appear to be from individuals you may know or work with, but which seem out of place. Phishing should be reported to both itrequests@business.cornell.edu and security-services@cornell.edu in order to be added to the Cornell Phishbowl. If you are caught by a phishing email, change your password immediately to safeguard your account.

ZOOM TIPS
