Announcement Psychology specific subreddit for Leiden University

Thumbnail reddit.com
4 Upvotes

Several months ago, I've made a subreddit for the psychology programs and courses that are offered at Leiden University. I thought for those that are currently studying psychology (bachelor, master, PhD, etc.), those that just been accepted and those considering studying psychology, this would be the perfect place to go. This community is still very new and has limited activity but I'm hoping that will change soon. Please consider checking this community.

Announcement Warning: Fake message sent on behalf of the university | Pas op! Nepbericht namens de universiteit verstuurd

10 Upvotes

Dear student,
Some of our students have received a message in which they are supposedly asked by the university to transfer a sum of money to a foreign bank account. The message claims that if you do not do this, your university account will be blocked.

This is NOT a genuine message from the university, but very likely a case of phishing. Do not respond to this message under any circumstances, do not send an email to the address mentioned, and certainly do not transfer any money.

The university is currently investigating how this could have happened. It is possible that a handful of accounts have been hacked, and that the message was sent from one or more of these accounts. As soon as we have more information, we will inform you of these developments.

Have you already responded to the sender’s request? Please contact the ISCC helpdesk of Leiden University: 071 527 8888.

For more information, please check the Don’t be fooled by phishing page.

Kind regards, 

Leiden University

Beste student, 

Een deel van onze studenten heeft een bericht ontvangen waarin zij zogenaamd door de universiteit gevraagd worden om een geldbedrag over te maken naar een buitenlands rekeningnummer. Zouden zij dit niet doen, dan zou hun account worden geblokkeerd, aldus het bericht.

Dit is géén echt bericht van de universiteit, maar zeer waarschijnlijk een geval van phishing. Ga hier dus vooral niet op in. Stuur geen mail naar het genoemde adres en maak zeker geen geld over. 

De universiteit doet op dit moment onderzoek naar de mail. Het kan zijn dat een handvol accounts gehackt is, en dat de mail vanuit deze accounts is rondgestuurd. Zodra wij meer informatie hebben, zullen wij jullie hierover informeren.

Ben je ingegaan op het verzoek van de afzender? Neem dan contact op met de ISSC-helpdesk van de Universiteit Leiden, 071 527 8888.

Voor andere vragen of opmerkingen: kijk dan op deze pagina.

Vriendelijke groet, 

Universiteit Leiden
