SSD has become aware of a phishing scam targeting UT related to disability-related part time work. The email mentions Disability Resources and Education Services (DRES) and implies that the job offer is affiliated with SSD. In some of the emails the individual sending the emails references the National Deaf Center. The individual sending the emails is in no way connected to UT or SSD.
IT Security has blocked the emails on campus but students still may receive emails off campus.
Students should always carefully evaluate and verify email solicitations. For more information about phishing scams and protecting your private information visit https://it.utexas.edu/don%E2%80%99t-get-hooked-%E2%80%93-how-avoid-phishing-scams .
