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.
