Weekly Tech Update: February 2, 2026
Happy Groundhog Day, RedHawks! Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, we hope you are staying bundled up and warm in this snowy wonderland of southwest Ohio. Thanks for bearing with us as we took last week off to catch up on some start-of-semester activities—let’s jump in!
Start your semester right! Learn about tech support options
New year, new classes—same great tech support. Who do you call when you forget your password or have trouble logging in to myMiami? Support is one of the most important services provided by Miami Information Technology Services, and we are happy to review some critical info as we start the new academic term!
Phishing alert: “Issues with your ID” and other messages send users to fraudulent login screen
The information security team has received numerous reports about a new scam email trying to lure folks into logging in to a false Miami service.
This email hints that there is an issue with your student ID and that you need to log in immediately to “avoid disruption in accessing email resources.” This is a common type of scam we see, but this one is particularly detailed, which could come across as more credible. Watch out!
For a full example of the phishing email, visit the IT News article.
Reminder: Send us your proposals for the Miami AI Symposium!
