Warning about phishing scam spoofing to be from members of the University of Tokyo
There have been recent reports of users receiving suspicious emails that look like they come from members of the University of Tokyo.
A third party is believed to be using a nonexistent e-mail address (info@u-tokyo.edu.jp) to send out fake e-mails from an off-campus server. These e-mails have nothing to do with the University of Tokyo.
As explained below, please be careful not to click on any links or open any attachments found in an email you suspect may be a phishing email.
* Please be careful not to open any files attached to the email text, as you risk infecting your computer with malware etc. if opened.
* Please be careful not to access any links in the text of the email (some links are made to look like they are from the University of Tokyo), as there is a risk of being infected by malware etc. if opened.
If you receive an email that you think may be spam, please contact the Cyber Rescue and Advice Team against targeted attack of Japan (J-CRAT) via the link below.
