Online security
We have security measures to stop viruses and spam emails coming through on the campus network.
While we stop millions of spam emails every year, some still get through.
Universities are a target for cyber criminals and you may receive phishing emails. Phishing is when someone pretends to be a company or brand you recognise in order to get money or personal details from you.
