ALERT – Increased number of emails with malicious links

University email addresses are receiving an increased number of malicious emails today due to several compromised @mtroyal.ca accounts.

Here is what you need to know:
1. Please be extra vigilant about opening links and documents that you did not expect, even if you know the sender.
2. As a temporary measure to address this issue, internal mail is being checked by Google’s spam filters. Usually, internal messages bypass spam checking, so please check your spam folder if you think that a legitimate email may have been flagged as spam by accident.
3. If you have already clicked on a suspicious link today, please change your password and contact ITS as soon as possible.
If you need assistance or have other questions, contact the IT Service Desk.
