VT IT Status

The #VirginiaTech IT Security Office asks Hokies to be alert for a recent phishing scam. If you receive an unsolicited email with the subject line "ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT JOB," do not reply — report it within your email app. vtx.vt.edu/notices/itso-e…

#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth may be coming to a close, but good security practices are a year-round must.
