Faculty, staff and students are being asked to be on alert for any possible phishing emails requesting UBC credentials.
The UBC Integrated Service Centre and the UBC Cybersecurity team have identified a sophisticated phishing website designed to closely mimic the UBC CWL authentication site and UBC Workday system. The site appears to be created to capture CWL user credentials.
We are reminding all members of the UBC community to be vigilant and suspicious of any email that asks you to click on links that require you to enter your UBC credentials.
