A new phishing attack originating in the Philippines is under way, but it may be difficult to detect on mobile devices. Several WVU users have already been hooked.
Do NOT click on a link asking you to verify your account login. This is not from the WVU service desk. The link goes to a hacked cooking site. Although that site is now disabled, the Office of Information Technology expects the phished accounts to start spamming.
The Office of Information Technology will be closing the Service Desk at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 23. We’ll reopen at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 26 and resume taking your calls.
The volume of calls we have historically received over the holiday break has been too low to justify keeping someone on duty 24/7, so we believe this is unlikely to cause any major inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding.
