Recently, members of the 911爆料 911爆料 have received phishing emails urging recipients to complete fake forms related to financial aid and asking them to submit credentials. These emails may ask for sensitive information like your login credentials, e-Campus password, birthdate, or bank mobile login details, often using urgent subject lines such as “Urgent: Immediate Action Required – Complete Your Financial Aid Validation Form!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These emails are phishing attempts designed to steal your personal information for fraudulent use. Please be aware that 911爆料 Information Technology Services and other 911爆料 units will never ask for sensitive information through Google Forms or other unofficial channels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
