Submitted by mathom37 on April 26, 2018 - 8:32am

If you experience issues with ASU authentication on a mobile application that requires Duo two-factor authentication, please update the ASU Mobile App from the App Store.  The best method is to use iOS 3D touch or "force press" on the Duo notification to authenticate with Duo. If you end up in the Duo App to approve the Duo authentication factor, you can use the back to "ASU" link in the upper left of the Duo App after you approve the authentication.

ASU Office365 Email and junk mail

Submitted by twitucky on April 12, 2018 - 5:18pm

Microsoft has changed how they identify junk emails causing legitimate email to incorrectly be marked as spoofed or junk. As a response, we have implemented a temporary solution for emails sent to exchange. This may increase the amount of email delivered to your inbox which typically gets filtered to junk. We understand the importance and impact of the issue and are working to correct it.

Student Jobs E-Mail Scam

Submitted by mathom37 on March 13, 2018 - 12:16pm

A large number of phishing scam emails have been seen targeting ASU students. The scam works by sending you an email with the promise of a job. The email subjects vary, some saying “Student Jobs" and others saying "Application Approved", even though you never submitted an application. The scamming email will ask you for your full name, address, and telephone number. The scammer then tells you that you will be doing various things, like acting as a middleman to purchase office supplies.
