A word about security
A word about security AIT is well protected anti-viruses anti-spam suspect material is filtered out But you need to remain careful all the time
Phishing Major threat is phishing, it is sophisticated Use caution, ask yourself: do you know the sender? does the sender uses language? does he usually send you this sort of message? does the sender use that signature? why the sender is sending you this file/message? do you trust the sender to be actively looking for viruses?
A rule of thumb AIT helpdesk will never, ever, ever, under no circumstance, ask you to send your password by email. Never. Ever. They will not ask you to connect to some strange web page.
