Fight off Phish With LastPass

Many of us get spam and other suspicious emails. Many of these suspicious emails contains links that will offer to “reset” your password. But, this is a trick called phishing! If you ever get an email about your storage or that your account has been hacked, don’t panic and don’t click. Forward the email to report-phishing@osu.edu

Even if the email looks legitimate, do not click. Instead, go to my.osu.edu to reset your all OSU related passwords.  This a good rule of thumb for all email providers. If you receive an suspicious email, always reset the password at the providers main webpage.

Did you click on the link? Do not panic, contact OSU Enterprise Security Team:  Phone: 614-688-4357 Email: 8help@osu.edu
