This is a reminder that no member of the Georgia Tech community should ever consider sending his or her GTAccount password to anyone via email, or even telling it to anyone on the telephone. OIT will never ask you for your password over email, the telephone, or anywhere else! You’re the only person who should ever know your password - other users certainly shouldn’t have it, and OIT system administrators don’t need it.

Some of you may be receiving emails with the subject line, “Update YOUR Gatech email NOW” containing poor grammar and a request for your personal and account information. These are fraud attempts which could compromise the security of Georgia Tech systems if they are answered. Please don’t reply to these emails - they appear to be an attempt to take over user email accounts, probably for spam purposes, and may not have been aimed at GT in specific, but any account compromise puts all of us at risk.

If you have mistaken this message for a legitimate one and accidentally given away your account information, you need to act immediately:

1) Go to passport.gatech.edu and change your password ASAP!

2) Contact OIT and let them know that this has happened, so that they can monitor your email account for signs of tampering.

Or, call 4-7173

Please contact the LCC Support office if you have any questions or concerns!

thanks!
