Received a suspicious message? Here's what to do

We are aware of an increase in phishing emails being directed towards students.

If you receive an email, message or phone call about a security breach that doesn't feel right, here's what to do:

if you've received a suspicious email, forward it to the NCSC's Suspicious Email Reporting Service at report@phishing.gov.uk

if you've received a suspicious text message, forward it to 7726 (a free service)

if you've received nuisance, suspicious or unwanted calls, hang up and block the number. Call your network provider for call filtering options.
