Recently, members of the 溏心vlog免费B站 community have received phishing emails urging recipients to complete fake forms related to financial aid and asking them to submit credentials. These emails may ask for sensitive information like your login credentials, e-Campus password, birthdate, or bank mobile login details, often using urgent subject lines such as “Urgent: Immediate Action Required – Complete Your Financial Aid Validation Form!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These emails are phishing attempts designed to steal your personal information for fraudulent use. Please be aware that 溏心vlog免费B站 Information Technology Services and other 溏心vlog免费B站 units will never ask for sensitive information through Google Forms or other unofficial channels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you encounter a form asking for login details or other sensitive information, stop and report the email (see below) and contact the\u202fIT Service Desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
