9\/18\/19 – [Security Issue] Historical \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d email addresses to be discontinued <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of UW Bothell\u2019s transition to O365, incoming email with the historical UWB addresses ending with: \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d were forwarded to the corresponding UW \u201c@uw.edu\u201d email addresses. This forwarding was intended to be a short-term solution to facilitate the change to \u201c@uw.edu\u201d email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email spam and phishing are the top attack vectors for cyber criminals to access UW data and services. Further, email inbound for \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d email addresses do not have spam or phishing protections. Given this significant security risk to the campus, we are planning for a November 15, 2019 discontinuation for forwarding \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d email addresses to UW email accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Adri MacArthur (sanchea2@uw.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is the issue?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the campus transitioned to Office 365 (circa 2014), all UW Bothell Faculty and Staff email addresses were transitioned to UW or addresses ending with: \u201c@uw.edu.\u201d As part of the O365 transition, incoming mail with the historical UWB addresses ending with \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d were forwarded to the corresponding UW email address. This forwarding solution was intended to be discontinued in 2015-16 which was communicated as part of the Office 365 migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might this affect me?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This change will not affect the majority of UW Bothell Faculty and Staff; the use of \u201c@uw.edu\u201d email addresses became standard after the migration to Office 365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I check to see if anyone is emailing me \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

f the sender is external (and legitimate), you may choose to send them an email with your updated email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else should I be aware of?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Outlook saves email addresses for autofill; some historical \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d email addresses may be saved in your client(s). In future, if autofill pulls the \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d email address, you will receive a failure to send notification and would then have to resend to the appropriate email to UW address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I delete an \u201c@uwb.edu\u201d address from Outlook\u2019s autofill?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To remove a single address from your auto-complete list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open Outlook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the New Email button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In the new e-mail window, start typing the address you want to remove in the To field. When it appears, click the X button next to the address.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How can I delete (and start fresh) with my Outlook autofill?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    On a Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To remove all addresses from your auto-complete list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Exchange server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. In the navigation pane, Ctrl+click or right-click the Exchange folder for which you want to empty the cache, and then click Properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. On the General tab, click Empty Cache. After the folder is empty, Outlook automatically downloads the items from the Exchange server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      On a PC remove auto-complete list for all emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Clear entire address list<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select \u201cFile\u201c.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Choose \u201cOptions\u201c.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select \u201cMail\u201d on the left pane, then scroll all the way down to the \u201cSend messages\u201d section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Select the \u201cEmpty Auto-Complete List\u201d button. If you want to turn off the Auto-Complete feature, uncheck the \u201cUse Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, CC, and Bcc lines\u201c, then select \u201cOK\u201c.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Select \u201cYes\u201d on the dialog box that appears.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Why is this a risk to the campus?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Cyber criminals are continually using email as a way to access UW data, Office of the CISO has 8.5 million emails are received from off-campus per day, Fewer than 1.5 million are legitimate. In 2018, UW had 2804 compromised accounts; of those, 762 were from phishing attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
