We are noticing an increase in phishing activity at Yale via email and text messages. These messages can sometimes appear to come from members of the Yale community. They may also address you directly. In the past few weeks, you may have received a message that:
- Threatens your access to specific accounts
- Offers you a lucrative job opportunity
- Requests your DUO login codes or push approvals
- Asks for your personal information such as your password, phone number, or bank information
If you responded to these messages, you might be at risk of further contact with these bad actors. Be on alert for a text message asking for additional information for a texted code.
If you already provided a code, your account is likely compromised. Contact the Information Security Office at information.security@yale.edu immediately.
Remember, it is always better to be safe than sorry. For more information on how to spot and report these scams, visit our Click with Caution webpage.
