Payment Card Newsflash #012

Dear Credit Card Merchants:

Please be aware of Phishing and Spam emails! –

It appears that some departments may have received during the past few days an email from Trustwave, Inc. (our Qualified Security Assessor) ‘warning’ you of a non-compliant status of your network based on their recent vulnerability scan.

The message provides hyperlinks and asks you to ‘view’ the results by clicking on links provided in the body of the email.

Please delete these emails immediately without clicking on any of its hyperlinks!

This may be a good time to review the Email Security Awareness web page by UF IT Security:

Now that is a link you can click on….
