Beware of Email Scams (Phishing)

Never send personally identifiable information in an email, specifically:

  • Kent State ID number
  • Passwords
  • Account or credit card numbers
  • Social Security number

Kent State will never ask you to send your password through email.

Only open attachments or links in emails that you are expecting.

Hover your cursor over the link to view the URL — make sure you recognize the website.

When in doubt, DON’T CLICK!
