Phishing Notification: Beware of Suspect Messages

We had several reports of phishing emails going around, please be careful of the following:

  • Emails with attachments or links from users that are outside of the UA system. 
  • Mandatory UAS account email validation with an external link

These emails may look legit, but check certain details to make sure. Check to see if the email it was sent from is with the UA system, hover over any links to make sure that they go to where it says they go to, and that the text in the body of the email is used with multiple fonts, filled with typos, and that the message would be sent from that individual at all.

But always, when in doubt, forward the email to uas.helpdesk@alaska.edu, we can verify if the email is a phishing attempt or not and let you know if it's safe to click.

Please maintain vigilance!

Phishing Notification: Beware of Suspect Messages

There has been a recent trend of phishing emails that are slightly strange. The most common subjects are:

  • Mandatory UAS account email validation, with external link
  • Offers of remote or e-work jobs, requesting personal information

While these emails may seem sincere, they're a open threat trying to gather your credentials and personal information! UAS will never ask for your credentials via email, and personal information should always go through the appropriate websites. 

Please maintain vigilance. Individual awareness keeps everyone safe.

Service Outage: Juneau Campus Power 8/28/24

A service interruption with AEL&P resulted in lost power and internet across stretches of the Juneau Auke Bay region. This has caused power loss in some buildings and network infrastructure. 

Services are being restored as power comes back online.
