Be alert for “phishing” emails or phone calls by someone who acts like they know you or are a company that you may do business with, and requests sensitive information, such as passwords, Social Security numbers or financial account information. You may report suspected phishing or social engineering attempts to communications@ucop.edu.
The University of California community will continue to be updated as more information is learned and able to be shared. In the meantime, if you have questions related to this incident, please contact communications@ucop.edu.
