Phishing Scam, are you the next victim?

Phishing Scams Never Stop Evolving

Cybercriminals now create highly deceptive emails with fewer spelling errors and more personalized contents, making them hard to recognize. Additionally, AI-powered deepfakes and voice cloning can accurately imitate trusted contacts, posing serious new threats. 

Stay Secure with CUHK's Defense Programs 

  • Mock Phishing Exercise: CUHK conducts phishing tests twice a year. If you fall for a mock phishing email, you must complete a short quiz—or your Wi-Fi and VPN access will be suspended. 

Three Information Security Tips to Protect Your Devices 

  1. Run Windows Updates: Ensure your system receives the latest security patches and vulnerability fixes.
  2. Install Antivirus Software: Use antivirus software, e.g. Kaspersky - campus-wide software to block malware and ransomware in real time.
  3. Change Passwords Regularly: Protect your accounts with strong, frequently updated credentials.
