Email security enhancement to start Friday
Due to recent trends showing an increase in emails originating from non-LU systems that impersonate faculty and staff names, the following measures will be implemented to help faculty, staff and students recognize emails from non-LU systems and take appropriate steps to validate the sender.
The subject line of emails that originate outside of Lamar will include the prefix “[EXTERNAL-EMAIL].”
The following text will be included as a footer on all emails that originate outside of LU — “**ALERT** This email originated outside Lamar University. Do not click links, open attachments or respond unless you validate the sender and know the content is safe.”
For more information, contact the Service Desk at 880-2222 or email servicedesk@ lamar.edu
