Phishing poses a serious threat to the Humber community and can impact both the institution as well as our community members personally. It is because of this risk that we are reaching out to our student community to ensure that they remain aware of emails which may appear suspicious. 

What is Phishing? 

Phishing is a form of social engineering, whereby cybercriminals send emails purporting to be from reputable companies or individuals and is the most common form of social engineering used today.  

For more information check out this article on the forms of phishing. 

What is Social Engineering? 

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people to gain access to private information, access to systems, or valuables. When reviewing emails in your Humber student mailbox, please be vigilant as it may be a phishing attempt. To help assist you in identifying suspicious emails, here are some additional resources to educate you about phishing.

In our efforts to further protect our community from this type of fraudulent and harmful activity, Humber ITS is providing optional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to all Humber students when accessing Microsoft 365 products. We are encouraging students to be early adopters and enroll for MFA throughout #CyberMonth2022. Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly complex, and MFA will help protect your student account by adding an extra verification step that ensures they are who they say they are when they log in. This helps prevent hackers from gaining unauthorized access to our student accounts even if they are able to compromise a student’s password.  

If you have any questions, contact the I.T. Support Centre at 416.675.6622 x8888 or humber.ca/techtalk.

Humber’s quarterly research and innovation magazine SPARK Issue #5 is here!

SPARK Issue #5 shines the spotlight on creativity and applied research projects. At Humber, expressions of creativity often extend far beyond the individual—its effect rippling across various channels to find its way to classrooms, workshops, research projects and the broader community. The new issue invites you to explore five inspiring expressions of creativity from the Humber community.

In SPARK Issue #5, you will also learn about applied research projects conducted by Humber faculty members, researchers and industry partners, who are continually solving new challenges and making a difference in the community. From creating robotic painting arms to improving the digital transformation of Ontario’s alternative dispute resolution sector, Humber’s researchers and scholars demonstrate that the sky is the limit when it comes to innovative applied research projects.

With a welcoming editor’s note from Anju Kakkar, managing editor, Humber Press, ORI, the new issue also includes contributions from ORI’s associate deans and a short Q&A with the authors of three research studies published in the 2022 special issue of the Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE). The research studies address the timely subject of responding to challenges in innovative and sustainable ways.

No matter where your curiosity lies, SPARK is here to inspire you in your research and innovation journey.
