Q. I think my campus email account has been hacked. What do I do?

Students have to be very careful with their campus email accounts, since so many hackers are trying to use student accounts to send spam to other students and to outside emails. This is a common problem in many colleges. Students are seen as easy targets because of their natural curiosity as well as their common need for additional money.

If you suddenly start getting tons of strange email OR if you suddenly realize you have been getting NO campus email, your account has probably been hacked.
