| PHISHING
SCAM TARGETS UNIVERSITIES |
Universities all over the world, including SF State,
are being targeted in the latest spear phishing scam
e-mails.
Phishing is an illegitimate
attempt to trick people to reveal sensitive information,
such as passwords, birthdates, and credit card or
bank account numbers, by impersonating as someone
trustworthy. Spear phishing is a highly targeted
type of phishing typically directed at a particular
institution.
This latest round of phishing e-mails
claim to be sent from the university's e-mail administrators,
requesting verification of e-mail accounts. Messages
have a subject 'VERIFY YOUR SFSU.EDU EMAIL ACCOUNT
NOW' and begin 'Dear sfsu.edu Email Account Owner'.
SF State will never ask
for you to send sensitive information over e-mail.
Never send sensitive information over e-mail; e-mail
is not a secure form of communication.
Please see the Division
of Information Technology web site for
more information. [Link

The University Police Department received accreditation
from the International Association of Campus Law
Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) in June, becoming
the only law enforcement agency in California to
receive accreditation status from both IACLEA and
the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies (CALEA). Only four other university police
agencies in the nation have earned accreditation
from both internationally recognized enforcement
organizations.
Accreditation is a voluntary process for law enforcement
agencies. The SF State department completed the
three-year process in only one and a half years.
Assessors from three other police agencies in the
country spent three days examining SFSUPD policies,
procedures and practices. Agencies must be in compliance
with at least 80 percent of the applicable standards
-- the SF State Police Department met 91 percent
of the standards.
SF State's efforts were directed by Kirk Gaston,
police chief; Amalia Borja, deputy chief; and Martha
Villanueva, administrative assistant to the chief.
