Increase in Phishing and Spoofed Emails
Type: Announcement
Period: 4/21/26 - Present
We are seeing a noticeable increase in phishing and email spoofing attempts targeting our organization. These messages may appear to come from trusted sources but are designed to trick recipients into clicking malicious links, downloading harmful attachments, or providing sensitive information.
Please remain vigilant and use caution when reviewing emails—especially those that:
-
Urge immediate action or create a sense of urgency
-
Contain unexpected attachments or links
-
Request login credentials, financial information, or sensitive data
-
Appear to come from internal contacts but have unusual formatting or tone
- Continue to monitor for known phish attempts at https://ispo.unm.edu/phish-bowl
How to Report Suspicious Emails in Microsoft Outlook Web (OWA):
-
Do not click any links or download attachments.
-
Open the suspicious email.
-
Click the “Report” button in the toolbar (this may appear as “Report Message” or a phishing icon).
-
Select “Phishing” or “Junk”, as appropriate.
-
Submit the report. The message will be sent to IT/security for review and removed from your inbox.
More information in reporting email can be found in the following knowledge article: https://unm.service-now.com/kb/en/how-do-i-report-spam-or-phishing-email?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0016353
InCommon SSL/TLS Certificates Lifespan Reduction - Ongoing
Type: Announcement
Period: 3/15/26 - Present
InCommon SSL/TLS certificate lifespans were reduced to a maximum of 200 days on March 15, 2026. This is a vendor change outside UNM's control.
This applies to all certificate types as enforced by the global governing organization, Certificate Authority Browser Forum. Lifespans will be further reduced to 100 days On March 15, 2027, and to 47 days on March 25, 2029. The purpose of this change is to reduce risk by decreasing validation periods.
The current recommended solution is certificate automation using the ACME protocol with tools like certbot (https://certbot.eff.org/).
*Note: Wildcard certificates can currently only be requested as a Subject Alternate Name (SAN) on a Multidomain certificate profile. The Common Name (CN) of the certificate must not be a wildcard.
