UPDATE: This particular email and the links within do not pose a threat. However, other phishing attempts may pose a threat.

We have reports of a new phishing email claiming to come from IT (see below).

Note the sender address is not ours: “it@reading-ac.uk”

Note that there is a ‘dash’ instead of the usual ‘dot’. This is not an official University of Reading email address.

There is a also a link in the email with the same fake domain.

Please always check links in emails by hovering the cursor over them.
