Coronavirus-themed phishing emails are rapidly increasing and can take many different forms, such as alerts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), health advice emails from medical professionals, emails that appear to be from UVA, and requests for donations to help Coronavirus treatment.
Do not click on any links or open attachments until you have verified the email and sender is legitimate. If it appears to come from someone at UVA, use the UVA Internal People Search to get their phone number and email. Then use these to contact them to confirm they sent the email and it's legitimate. If it's from someone outside UVA, use Google or other sources you know to confirm the sender and the email is legitimate. Do not reply to the email itself. You can also check our Information Security Alerts & Warnings webpage for a full list of current warnings at UVA, and Information Security’s webpage of phishing examples. If you suspect the email is not legitimate, or are not sure, send it to [email protected].
