Duo Now Protects Your Email & More!

So now that we have rolled out Duo to Office 365 & our Baylor email a bit quicker than anticipated, does that mean we can all relax & forget about phishing emails?

In short, no.

The longer answer is because phishing emails will never completely disappear since they are a cheap & easy way to attempt to obtain credentials from authorized users of a system. Plus, there is always the potential that the phisher could get  a user to slip up & not only type in their username & password, but then accept the Duo authentication method that they choose to send out. Please keep forwarding any phishing messages you receive to BearAware at Baylor dot edu & do NOT accept any Duo pushes, send passcodes to unknown persons, or push a button to authorize a phone authentication when you were not the one initiating the Duo authentication. Duo is an excellent step to protect our environment, but we still need everyone’s help to keep Baylor & your information cyber-secure.
