Phishing is criminal activity using IT resources. Phishing is the attempt to steal confidential information such as ID and account information by impersonating a trustworthy person or company.
Most phishing email messages received by Metropolia users are made to appear as password queries sent by Metropolia IT Services and relating to a system change.
Metropolia IT Services (Systems Maintenance, Data Management and System Development, User Support, Webmaster, etc.) never ask their users for passwords or other such information - neither by email nor otherwise.
Email messages requesting confidential information must be deleted immediately. The links in them should not be clicked and attachments should not be opened.
