Gedurende de laatste maanden worden

Gedurende de laatste maanden worden de emailadressen van de medewerkers van de Universiteit Antwerpen regelmatig overstelpt met spam en phishing mails en moeten we vaststellen dat er telkens toch een paar medewerkers zijn die op deze mails reageren. Dit heeft zware gevolgen voor de hele universiteit:
- Doordat de verzenders van de originele phishing mail weten dat er iemand op gereageerd heeft, zullen ze sneller geneigd zijn om meer phishing mails naar ons mail domain te sturen
- De online geloofwaardigheid van de universiteit wordt sterk aangetast.
- Alle medewerkers kunnen hierdoor problemen krijgen met het versturen van mails, aangezien we hierdoor regelmatig op zogenaamde Blacklists komen. Hierdoor worden mails die vanuit de universiteit verstuurd worden gedurende 48 uur niet meer geaccepteerd.
- De gebruiker zelf verliest alle mails in zijn/haar mailbox, en nieuwe binnenkomende mails worden direct gewist, waardoor deze niet meer te recupereren zijn.

Op Pintra (link naar info over phishing mails) staan enkele tips om zo’n phishing mails te identificeren, maar 99% van de phishing mails zijn eenvoudig te ontmaskeren door met de muispijl over de link in de mail te gaan en de URL die dan verschijnt even te bekijken: als deze verwijst naar een site waarop je gegevens moet inbrengen (account of bankgegevens) en deze begint met http:// in plaats van het beveiligde https://, kun je er al vanuit gaan dat de site vervalst is en dat er zeker niets mag ingevuld worden. En bij twijfel kun je best eerst de helpdesk voor bevestiging vragen. Voorkomen is beter dan genezen…
