New Email Phishing Scam Using QR Codes

Dear University Community, 

We continue to see new forms of email phishing scams. These scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it more challenging for faculty, staff, and students to identify. We are asking all UM community members to stay vigilant and report any suspicious emails. 

Please be on the lookout for this latest email phishing attempt:

As a reminder, the University of Miami will never ask you to provide sensitive information via email and/or online form. Also, remember to never provide Duo MFA access codes into any online forms; the only time you should provide your Duo MFA access code is when you request access to a UM system, such as your miami.edu email.

Report Suspicious Activity

If you're suspicious of an email, please forward it to phish@miami.edu or report it using Outlook's "PhishAlarm" (Report Phish) tool to notify the IT Security team.

If you have any questions, please contact the IT Security team via email at infosec@miami.edu or contact the IT Service Desk – Coral Gables/Marine: 305-284-6565 or help@miami.edu; UHealth/MSOM: 305-243-5999 or help@med.miami.edu.
