Don’t fall for phone phishing

Information Technology alerts everyone that phishing scams are not just limited to emails. Our UofL phone numbers are often the target of phishing calls or a cloning of our prefixes (852-xxxx, 854-xxxx) where the call does not actually originate from a university phone. Our phone system does not allow incoming calls, especially those with a university prefix, to be blocked. We have contacted our vendor about this issue. Until a resolution is available, we encourage you to be cautious when providing sensitive information over the phone.
