An e-mail scam has been forwarded to several Kentucky State E-mail account holders. The subject of the email reads “Verify Your Kysu Account Now”. This message was not generated by Information Technology, therefore, do not respond to that e-mail should you receive it. It is an attempt to gather your user name and password in order to pass e-mail viruses through the KSU network. Again, please do not respond. Delete the message from both your inbox and your deleted items folder to insure you have removed it from your e-mail account.
If you have any questions or if you have responded to the bogus e-mail please contact IT at 5733, we will be glad to assist you.
