Phishing email warning!
Phishing is a common experience for email users these days. Metropolia email users often receive requests for their network/email passwords, user IDs, and other private data. Some of these emails can be very convincing and appear to be from Metropolia ITS Staff.
However, you should know that ITS will never, ever request your password! Emails requesting your password or other personal data should simply be DELETED upon receipt.
If you sent your information in response to the message, change your password immediately at https://amme.metropolia.fi
Below are newest messages of phishing emails received here at Metropolia and should be deleted upon receipt.
