Any IT security incidents聽or data breaches, however big or small, should be reported to聽. They will then聽investigate and record the breach following the proper procedures. This will enable us to learn from our mistakes and reduce the number of incidents in future.聽
By reporting聽an聽incident such as聽phishing, you can help to prevent further cyber-attacks on other BU users.聽Sometimes, it may only need one compromised BU聽email聽account to further attack other BU users or launch a sophisticated and聽hard-to-detect聽phishing campaign.聽Please be very cautious of any emails that ask you to disclose personal information or your BU login details, as well as common scams offering聽online vouchers, cheap branded聽items, an HMRC rebate, or a fake job offering.聽聽
A data breach鈥痗ould include lost or stolen devices, a compromised mailbox or鈥痵tolen printed documents with personal information.鈥疘f you're worried that a data breach may have happened or you need to report a data breach, please聽call the IT Service Desk on 01202 965515聽or freephone 0808 196 2332 from a mobile.聽
