The following habits will help protect your work and personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Apply the STOP Method: A Quick Guide for\u00a0the Chapman Community<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It&#8217;s 8:12 a.m., and you&#8217;re scanning email before your first meeting when a message lands with the subject line: <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">&#8220;Action Required: Payroll Update Needed Today&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">. It looks polished, references the university, and warns that your direct deposit could be delayed unless you &#8220;confirm&#8221; your information. There&#8217;s a prominent button labeled &#8220;<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Update Now<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">.&#8221; The timing is perfect, because scammers love busy inboxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Stay cautious.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0You look past the formatting and focus on the ask: verify personal details, sign in, and share information tied to your pay. The sender address is close but\u00a0not quite right, and the message leans hard on urgency. That combination\u2014money + pressure\u2014is your cue to treat it as suspicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Take your time.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Between back-to-back meetings, grading, and deadlines, it&#8217;s tempting to click to clear it off your plate. But you pause. If it&#8217;s legitimate, it will remain legitimate after you verify it through the proper channel. If it&#8217;s a scam, those extra seconds can prevent a bad sign-in or a costly change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Only trust verified sources.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0Instead of using the link in the email, you go directly to the university site or portal you already use (by typing it in or using a saved bookmark). If you need confirmation, you\u00a0contact Payroll\/HR or IS&amp;T using phone numbers and webpages from the official directory;\u00a0NEVER use the contact info provided in the message. Contact\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"mailto:infosec@chapman.edu\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">infosec@chapman.edu<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0or call the Service Desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Protect your info.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> When it asks for a one-time code &#8220;to confirm your identity&#8221; (or to approve a payment, invoice, or vendor update), you stop immediately. No legitimate support team should ask for your MFA code. You close the message, report it, and keep university systems and your personal data protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Bottom line:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0If a message urges immediate action\u00a0regarding\u00a0payroll, passwords, invoices, or account access, use STOP: Stay cautious,\u00a0Take\u00a0your time,\u00a0Only\u00a0trust verified sources, and\u00a0Protect\u00a0your information. These four steps help you respond safely to urgent emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Remain alert to protect your data. Chapman University is committed to safeguarding your information, but preventing scams requires everyone&#8217;s vigilance.
