Residence Halls Wifi Maintenance and phishing attack warning for students

Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 10th) beginning at 10:00 AM, Computing Services must perform maintenance on our wireless internet services in Coronado, Girault and the Residence at Rex. All wireless services are expected to be restored by 3:00 PM that afternoon. Although not anticipated, there is a small possibility that we encounter issues in performing the maintenance, which could cause us to need to finish the work on Wednesday and Thursday. We chose this time due to the fact that our wifi is utilized the least during these hours, as students are primarily in class during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

***Phishing attacks reported by students***

Adams State University student email accounts have again been the target of a phishing attack this week. Phishing emails are malicious emails where the attacker will pose as a legitimate organization to attempt to trick you into disclosing your personal information.

As a reminder, Computing Services will never ask for your username and password via email. If you do see a message asking for this information, please delete it without responding to the sender.

If you have responded to an email with your username and password please change your password immediately by going to www.adams.edu/onestop and clicking the “change your password” link.

You can also report phishing through the web interface of Gmail.

On your computer:

  1. Sign in to Gmail.
  2. Open the message you’d like to report.
  3. At the top-right corner of the message, click the down arrow next to the “Reply” button.
  4. Select Report Phishing.

If you are unsure if an email is legitimate or not, please reach out to our Helpdesk at 719-587-7741 or computingservices@adams.edu

Computing Services thanks you for your patience and understanding as we perform these critical maintenance activities. As always, if you have any questions, please call the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at 7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu
