Safe Computing
Protecting Your Identity
Threat actors and hackers regularly target universities, including U-M, attempting to disrupt operations and steal sensitive information. They also try to steal individual U-M account credentials in order to gain access to U-M systems and accounts, initiate scams, and disrupt both our professional and personal lives.
The following tips can help you protect your identity:
- Do not reuse your U-M password on other sites, especially those where your umich.edu email is your username. If you think your login credentials have been compromised, change your password ASAP.
- Beware of phishing emails (or texts) that ask you to verify, validate, or upgrade your account by logging in to a webpage or providing your password. They are most likely scams.
- Avoid logging into a U-M website like Wolverine Access while on an unprotected WiFi network. Your account information could be stolen if you don’t use a secure internet connection.
- Do not share your passwords. If you share your password with a friend, significant other, or family member, they might not be as careful with it as you are. Consider using a password manager to store your passwords in an encrypted file so that you don't need to remember them.
