If you see something, say something.
Earlier this week, roughly 3,000 people on campus received a phishing message that initially made it through University email filters. While the Information Security Office moved quickly to remove the message, it’s always good to look at every email with a critical eye. Look for common signs of phishing like:Â
|
-
Sense of urgency
- The message is unexpected
- Links take you non-ND websites
- Spelling and grammatical errors, even in the smallest details
|
If you spot a message that seems a little phishy, always report it! You could be protecting yourself and others from account compromise.Â

Texts and Phone Calls will No Longer
be a Login Option |
|
|
The Office of Information Technology will remove SMS text messaging and phone calls as authentication factors for Okta.
If you don't have another way to authenticate into your account, you will lose Okta account access (e.g., Gmail, Canvas) and will need to contact the Service Desk.

|
|
Need Okta Verify? Follow these step-by-step instructions for setting up Okta Verify — an approved factor for logging into your ND account.Â
|
As mentioned in the email sent this past Tuesday, a network change is coming this summer—and a quick heads-up if you have smart devices utilizing the ND-guest network. Soon, you will have to move your devices from the ND-guest WiFi to the new ND-device WiFi.
Starting July 6, ND-guest will be reserved for campus visitors. Any other devices still on that network will be disconnected from ND-guest after July 5.
What you need to do:
|
-
Take inventory of devices using ND-guest
- Grab each device’s MAC address and name it clearly
- Get ready to register for ND-device (opens May 11, more info coming soon)
