Although IT can catch many of the bad actors before they reach their targets, it&#8217;s important that everyone remain vigilant. Developing good cybersecurity habits is part of how the entire university community can keep its work and its people safe.<\/p>\n<p>The problematic messages landing in JHU inboxes are often well-written, well-timed, and tailored to the university environment. A few simple checks will catch most attempts before they cause harm. Before you click on or reply to a message, or respond to a caller, ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the request urgent, threatening, or unusually emotional? Attackers rely on pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Does the sender&#8217;s address match the organization it claims to be from? Hover over the name to see the real email address.<\/li>\n<li>Is the link going where it says it is going? Hover before you click and look at the full URL.<\/li>\n<li>Does the message use a generic greeting, odd grammar, or formatting that does not match prior emails from that person?<\/li>\n<li>Am I being asked for a password or a one-time code? Johns Hopkins IT will never ask you to share your password or multifactor authentication code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Strong cybersecurity is mostly the sum of small, repeatable habits. Keep these tips in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DON&#8217;T send passwords or any sensitive information over email.<\/li>\n<li>DON&#8217;T click on &#8220;verify your account&#8221; or &#8220;login&#8221; links on any email.<\/li>\n<li>DON&#8217;T reply, click on links, or open attachments in suspicious email.<\/li>\n<li>DON&#8217;T call a phone number in an unsolicited email or give sensitive data to a caller.<\/li>\n<li>DON&#8217;T accept a Microsoft Teams chat request&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.jhu.edu\/at-work\/2026\/05\/21\/cybersecurity-is-a-team-sport\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cybersecurity is a team sport https:\/\/hub.jhu.edu\/at-work\/2026\/05\/21\/cybersecurity-is-a-team-sport\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-21 09:23:00 Source Domain: hub.jhu.edu By Lisa&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":253321,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/api.hub.jhu.edu\/factory\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/soft_crop_1300\/public\/2026-05\/cybersecurity-hub.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-253320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-phishing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253320"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253320"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253322,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253320\/revisions\/253322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
