Dear IT@UofT community members,
Thank you for your continued collaboration and innovation over the past year. IT@UofT people consistently exceed expectations in responding to and supporting the ever-changing needs for technology at the University. Your team work and creative solutions enabled our community to move to a virtual work model, and now back toward in-person and hybrid models, all while keeping our core values at the centre of your work.
Your adaptability, work ethic and innovation are valued, and I hope you are able to take this upcoming holiday to rest, relax and recharge.
I look forward to what the new year will bring and the new challenges we will face together.
— Bo Wandschneider, Chief Information Officer

 How to deal with a phishing attempt
- Report phishing messages by either using the “report message” function in your Office 365/UTMail+ inbox or report it to report.phishing@utoronto.ca.
- When in doubt, call or ask the sender in person to confirm that the email was really from them.
- If you already engaged with the phishing email, contact your local IT service desk immediately.
- If you suspect your information may have been compromised due to an attack, change your password immediately.
