We are seeing a fake “Unusual Activity” warning asking you to click a non-UVIC link to at 1apps.com. We do not use this service and if ever needing to change or update information with your account, we will not send you a link to do so.
For any account updates, changes, verification, etc, always go directly to your “known good” uvic.ca portal instead of following email links.
You also will not receive abrupt threats indicating your account will be terminated or disabled. Any de-provisioning actions will be tied to regular communication protocols typically with much advanced warning.
The link will bring you to a page that does look like uvic.ca with mask mandate banner and all, but pay close attention to the Internet Address. This is not a UVic service.
Thank you for your continued reports of suspicious emails. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your IT Support, or the Computer Help Desk where they will escalate to us as appropriate.
