- Never share your password.

- Do not leave your computer, phone, or any other computer/phone accessory unattended.

Always pay attention to the emails you are receiving with your Rockets email account. Make sure you are:
- checking who the email is coming from. If it is not coming from a utoledo.edu address, it could potentially be a phishing email.
- If the email is coming from a utoledo.edu address and there is a link, hover over the link to make sure the url is coming from utoledo.edu.
- Never click on a link or an attachment from someone you do not know. Never give out personal information in an email unless you are communicating with that person or department.
- Never give out your password to anyone.
The IT Security department sends out Phishing Awareness emails on what to look for when it comes to phishing emails. Please review these. Some of the emails have examples of what phishing emails came in that month.
To report phishing emails or if you have a question about a phishing email, send them to emailabuse@utoledo.edu.
