Phishing Attack Targets Learn Users

Some on-campus users have reportedly been receiving fake Learn system messages that are "Blackboard Notifications" that a post has been added to their Learn courses. These phishing messages are intended to deceive the user and make them follow a link that will then ask them for their log in credentials.

If you did follow the link from the fake message and entered your log in information, please go to https://ams.unt.edu immediately and change your password. You should then notify your regular help desk team for further assistance. Thank you.
