Has anyone gotten new spam emails each day? The sender seems to be affiliated with the university since their email ends with umail.ucsb.edu. This is getting real annoying.
I’m about to be a third year at UCSB and I’ve been getting these emails ever since I activated my umail account. It’s a problem because scammers will send phishing emails from other students emails without hacking into them and make it look more reliable by having it from from a student email. It also makes it really hard to filter out since the scammers only use student emails
I think some students leaked their usernames and passwords to the scammers. There was this scam email that told students to verify their account or else it would be suspended. I think some students fell for it.
