RE: UCPath Alert: Beware of Phishing Emails Impersonating UCPath

Dear UCSB Campus Community, 

A phishing email impersonating UCPath is targeting UC employees at several locations, including UC Santa Barbara. The fraudulent email prompts employees to update their UCPath accounts.
 

​

Phishing email details

• The phishing email includes the subject line "Update Your UCPath Account"
• It contains a link to a fraudulent login page, mimicking the official UCPath login interface

What to do if you receive this email: 

• Do not open the email, click any links, or open attachments
• Immediately report phishing emails. 
  • To report this, send a copy with full headers to security@ucsb.edu.
  • Please visit the UCSB IT Security Incident page for more details on a full header and how to report. 
• After reporting, delete the email to ensure security and prevent further risk

Thank you,

UCPath
