Password Change Required: Your Immediate Action is Required

We have had a recent phishing attack that has compromised some faculty and staff email accounts. In a continuing effort to safeguard your account, we are requiring you to change your NetID password.

We recommend that you create a password for your NetID account that you don’t use anywhere else to help ensure the security of your account.

Action Required:

• Change your password within 7 days. Go to our self-service password site to make the change.
• You can access password reset documentation on our wiki password instructions site.
• ITS will automatically reset any passwords that have not been changed within 7 days.
• Remember to also update your password on your mobile devices after you have changed your NetID password.

Security Tips:

• Be cautious of phishing attacks and be careful with email attachments and links, especially from unfamiliar senders.
• For more about phishing emails attacks, read our documentation on phishing emails.
• Never share your username and password via email.
