Staying Safe Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to keep yourself safe online is to become more familiar with the signs of phishing scams, common scam types and how to handle a phishing email. If you are unsure about an email you receive, do not respond or click on anything. Forward the email to abuse@uwm.edu<\/a>, and UWM\u2019s Information Security Team will be able to help confirm anything suspicious. Learn more about recent trends in online scams<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
