Holiday Break Phishing Scam Protection

Phishing attacks are on the rise and we are taking steps to prevent these attacks from affecting Manhattan College. ITS would like to request your assistance by asking for your hyper vigilance in regards to potential phishing scams by doing the following: 

1. Never respond to any suspicious or unfamiliar emails. 

2. Report any of these suspicious emails to ITS by forwarding the message to its@manhattan.edu for validation.

3. If you think your account has been compromised contact ITS immediately at 718-862-7973 or emailing its@manhattan.edu

As we approach the Christmas Holiday break, ITS would like to remind campus users that we will NOT be performing updates and will NOT ASK for information from you.   

  • ITS will NOT ASK for you to update your password or other personal information.

  • ITS will NOT DISABLE your account over the break if you do not respond to an email.
