The message "Blackboard Notification - New Article" from "Blackboard Articles" is a phishing scam. If you receive it, you should delete it. I have included a copy, received by a faculty member at UM, below.
The "Click here to sign in..." link on the original message links to a page where you are asked to sign in. This page is NOT part of any system at UM. The site will capture your username and password and probably use it to try to access your accounts on various system.
If you have already entered yourCaneID information using that link, I encourage you to change your CaneID password. You can do that by going to the https://caneidhelp.miami.edu/ page and selecting the "Change Your Password" link.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions: bill.vilberg@miami.edu or 786-250-2255 (cell and desk).
