System & Network Status

All systems are operating normally.

Phishing Message Alert/Reminder:

Numerous members of the FAU community have received an e-mail that appears to be from "fau.edu." The subject line says, "UPDATE YOUR fau.edu EMAIL NOW," and asks for the recipient's username, password, date of birth and country. This message is NOT legitimate and is known as "phishing" -- an attempt to get personal information from people.  Please keep in-mind that neither FAU/IRM nor any other legitimate entity would ask for this information via e-mail. Likewise, it is a smart practice to never provide personal information in an e-mail. For more information on phishing and keeping your personal information secure, go to the IRM Network and Security site (http://www.fau.edu/irm/network) and the IRM News security edition (http://www.fau.edu/irm/about/irm_news/irmnews_0601.pdf).
