Cardiff students warned over virus email in circulation
Accounts are being blocked to stop the spread of the virus
Cardiff University have issued a statement warning students about a virus email that is circulating among university accounts.
Several emails were sent to students yesterday warning them about the emails and advising students to call the IT Helpdesk if they clicked on the link in the email.
Please be aware that University email accounts are currently receiving a high number of fake email messages. Here’s what to look out for and what to do if you think your account may have been compromised 👇

If a student clicks on the link in the phishing email, their account is compromised.
Cardiff University have said they will block any accounts which could have the virus to prevent it spreading further.
This morning, a further email was sent to students updating them on the situation.
Full statement from the University
Due to the sheer amount of calls the uni is receiving, there is a backlog of requests to unblock accounts.
If your account has been blocked, direct your calls to the IT centre, change your password and complete a full virus scan. The number for the IT centre is 029 22511111.
If you have clicked the link, you must contact the IT Service Desk immediately (Tel: 029 22511111). A sign that you may have been compromised is that you may notice emails disappearing from your account.
