OxCERT have received reports of very convincing looking phishing emails appearing to originate from an @bodleian.ox.ac.uk email address. The phishing emails use the subject “Library Account Access” and contain links, which are disguised to look like they lead to our own webauth pages.
The phishing emails claim, “Your access to your library account is expiring soon and it won’t be accessible for you. You must reactivate your account in order to continue to have access to the library services.”
If you receive one of these emails, please delete it without clicking on the links. If you are a member of the University of Oxford and think you may have been taken in by this scam, please contact your local IT support staff as soon as possible.
