A Message From David McMorries,

The Chief Information Security Officer 

Winter and Spring Term, 2024

Dear OSU Community,

The days are getting longer, and Spring is around the corner!  After a long winter, seeing the early spring bloomers come out, with the promise of warmer weather is a morale boost. With the warmer weather comes the themed cyber scams…expect to see tax season scams, employment fraud (especially geared towards students), and the like.  Being vigilant and reporting suspicious e-mail is the best approach; let the Office of Information Security help you.

Respectfully,

David
