Faculty, Staff, and Students,
The Help Desk was recently notified of yet another phishing scam email that targets students, faculty, and staff of Wright State University. The message looks like a receipt for an order placed at Walmart's website, and has all of the key elements of an official Walmart receipt. However, by looking at the message, you can see that it is from an email address that is not affiliated with Walmart. It will also not have your personal shipping address, but instead another address. If you receive a receipt email from Walmart and you don't recall placing an order with the company, the message is most likely spam and not an official receipt from Walmart. You should not click on any of the links or enter any of your personal or financial information.

If you are in doubt about the receipt, you can call Walmart's customer service number to question the receipt. You can also contact the CaTS Help Desk for further assistance. You can reach us by phone at (937) 775-4827, or send us an email at helpdesk@wright.edu.
 

CaTS will be conducting system maintenance on Friday, May 3, from 5 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. During this time you may experience brief outages when trying to connect WSU systems and services. If you have any questions concerning this maintenance, please contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or send an email to helpdesk@wright.edu.

Beginning May 1, 2013 and continuing through September 1, CaTS will be eliminating the Cable Programming/Video service currently available in electronic classrooms and computer-based labs. All current rooms will have the cable tuners removed and new classroom will not have the tuners installed.

Currently, the best source for receiving video content in the classrooms is by way of the internet through websites and streaming video. If you need to view Wright State produced programming you may do so on the University’s PEG channel at https://www.wright.edu/cats/technical/eventstream/. Select the “Video on Demand” option. You may also view University content on the Communications and Marketing Newsroom page at http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/.

For questions concerning this change, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or send an email to helpdesk@wright.edu.
