Protect Yourself with These Critical Steps:
- Verify Okta Authentication Requests: Only approve Okta pushes that you've personally initiated. If you receive an unexpected authentication request, DENY it immediately and reset your password.
- Be Cautious with Forms: Do not input your credentials into any form you didn't specifically request. If you suspect you've entered information into a questionable form, change your password right away at https://www.uwlax.edu/password/
- Report Suspicious Activity: Forward any suspicious emails to helpdesk@uwlax.edu for investigation
Your attentiveness is crucial to our cybersecurity defenses. Remember that protecting our digital campus is a shared responsibility that requires everyone's active participation.
