Protecting our IT network
Do not open any suspicious e-mails or attachments. Treat the following e-mails as suspicious:
- Anonymous senders
- Strangers addressing you in a familiar mannerNon-standard addresses
- Be especially wary of any of the above that contain attachments with .EXE,. ZIP,.SCR or VBS file extension names
- Malicious programmes can also lurk in more familiar forms. For example, Microsoft Word and Excel attachments can contain macro viruses.
- Never forward virus warning messages to everyone on an e-mail list or contact group. This can spread just as fast and cause as many problems as a virus
- Never forward funny or joke programmes to others
If you are in any doubt, please contact the IT Service Desk.
