Check "Domain name of sender's email address (after @ mark)"
Please make sure that the sender's email address represents the sender's organization (whether the domain name after @ mark is correct). (If you look carefully, it may not be correct.)
Check "URL in the email message"
Please make sure that URL in the email message represents the sender's organization. (If you move the cursor over URL in the email message (but never click it), the actual embedded URL is displayed at the bottom.)
Access from "URL of the official web page (not in the email massage)"
When using or confirming each service such as Apple, Amazon, Rakuten, etc., please access from the official URL of each service instead of clicking URL in the email massage.
Check "Latest information on phishing / attack emails"
Please check the information posted on this page and check whether similar phishing / attack emails are prevalent.
Use "UTokyo VPN" when working from home
When you works remotely from home, please use UTokyo VPN. (Since communication passes through the university firewall, the possibility of blocking or detecting dangerous communication increases.)
Contact point in the event of incidents, etc.
As tactics used by attackers become increasingly sophisticated, anyone may access the suspicious URL or open the suspicious attachment without realizing the attack. If you sense that something is wrong, please contact teams in charge of Faculty of Economics (General Affairs Section (Soumu Team) or Computer Services) as soon as possible.
