All FLC employees are automatically enrolled in cyber security training, so when you get emails from Ninjio-DO NOT DELETE, it is not spam. This is a State of Colorado requirement.
Beware of phishing emails: Urgent emails asking you to “click here” or to verify, update, or validate your account are often tricks to steal your password. Always check the full email address to see if it is legitimate! FLC will never send an email for you to reset your password. FLC can require a password change when you login. Emails requesting you to reset your password are always phishing.
Store important files on a network drive: Files stored on OneDrive or your “M” drive can be restored if they become corrupted by malware or accidentally deleted. Files on your local computer are not protected.
Don’t use your FLC network password for other sites: Keep your FLC password unique. Never share your password with anyone, including FLC faculty and staff!
Reduce spam: Avoid using your FLC email address to sign up for promotions or as social media logins.
Watch out for impersonation scams: These scams often come as an email or text that appears to be from an FLC executive or colleague, asking you to purchase gift cards and send redemption codes. It’s a trick!
Protect personally identifiable information (PII): Do not send or store sensitive information in email. Visit www.fortlewis.edu/data-handling for guidelines.
Avoid ransomware: This type of virus can destroy all of your files and pictures and affect the computers around you. Don’t open unexpected email attachments, even from someone you know.
