Every day nearly 247 billion emails are sent to user mailboxes around the globe. According to the Radicati Group, in 2009 nearly 81% of these emails contained spam or viruses. Phishing (pronounced like “fishing”) emails are intended to steal your identity by asking for personal data or directing you to web sites or to send an email.

Will ITS Ask Me For My Password?
Remember, ITS will never ask you for your password or other confidential information through email. If you are unsure of the validity of an email, then contact the organization via the phone. Do not reply to the message, as it will send information back to the phisher.
