Webmail - Phishing Alerts
With the recent rise in so called "phishing" emails whereby scammers try and trick you into handing over your account details we have upgraded webmail to provide prompts on suspicious and known scam emails that are not filtered by the spam filter.

As always, should you receive an email you suspect to be fake and this new system doesn't explicitly state it's a known phishing email please feel free to report it in the usual way via our helpdesk (help@aluminati.net) and we'll flag that email as a scam for all users.

The Independent Thursday 29 January 2004:
"A recent survey of HR managers by Yahoo! found that 51 per cent would be put off by a candidate who had a "wacky" e-mail address. Although a university e-mail account is perfectly acceptable, it may cause you problems on graduation, when the address expires."
