UK is warning the campus community of a phishing attempt sent in a series of emails.

The emails were recently sent to UK employees with a subject line “Your September Salary Issue.”

Phishing emails are those posing as official correspondence, but sent from illegitimate sources — often for illegal and damaging purposes.  These specific emails appear legitimate and appear to have been sent from Human Resources & Payroll Benefits, however they have all been fake.  These phishing emails have attempted to gather LinkBlue IDs, passwords, and bank account numbers.

The UK Analytics and Technology Security Team blocked the fraudulent web site related to these emails from being accessed while on campus, but it is still possible to click the link if you are off campus or using a cellular connection on your mobile device.

If you receive similar phishing emails that request account information or ask you to perform tasks that are outside your normal activities or duties, please forward the email as an attachment to security@uky.edu and then delete the email.
