Reminder: WSU Email Service Changes

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

This message is being sent to you because your account has been identified as one which is still accessing "mail.wright.edu" for outgoing email. This could be due to email client settings which have not been updated to use the new RaiderMail service, including settings on mobile or tablet type devices, or by going to the “mail.wright.edu”
website to access address books.

Please note that beginning January 23, 2014, you will not be able to use the services associated with “mail.wright.edu”, including sending messages or using the “mail.wright.edu” website. To continue sending messages or using any address books you may have saved, you must change your settings to those used by the RaiderMail system.

For information on updating your email client settings, please refer to the “Setup Instructions” section of the RaiderMail Help and Documentation website. This page includes settings for Windows, Macintosh, and mobile device email clients.  In particular, you must update the client settings for the "Outgoing" or "SMTP Server" settings to use the new RaiderMail system.

Urgent: Phishing Scam Notice for 1/15/14

Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Attention WSU Faculty, Staff, and Students:

This morning, the CaTS Help Desk has received several calls regarding a new phishing email that seems to come from us (CaTS Help Desk) telling the user that a virus has been detected within their email folders, and that they should upgrade to a new version of their antivirus software.
The email then asks the user to reply with their name and login information. Please be aware that this message is a scam and is NOT BEING SENT BY CaTS. If you reply, your information will be sent to an email address of the scammer, not to the CaTS Help Desk. You should delete this message immediately.

Be aware that any email claiming to be from CaTS, Wright State University or another business which asks for your login, personal, or financial information is a definite scam. CaTS, WSU, and other reputable businesses WILL NEVER ask you for any personal information, such as your username and password, via email. CaTS would also like to emphasize that you should never respond to these emails or click links within them, nor should you give out your personal information to anyone via email.

If you receive an email and are unsure if the message is a scam, feel free to contact the CaTS Help Desk. We can help you determine whether the message is real or not. You can reach us at (937) 775-4827, or toll free at 1-888-775-4827.
