Hackers are creating fake login pages that look really similar to legitimate Rowan University websites to try to get access to your account.
Often, the only way you can spot a fake from the real thing is by carefully looking at the URL. The URL may include rowan.edu but start with a .net, .com or other domain, like xyz.com/rowan.edu/cas/login.
Be particularly wary of websites you are prompted to log in to from a link in an email or document. When you are logging in to applications protected by Rowan’s single sign-on service, the URL will always start with login.rowan.edu.
Hackers are also using another tactic to try to steal your Rowan NetID and password: sending you a barrage of Duo sign-in requests with the intent to frustrate you enough to approve access — even if you didn’t initiate the login attempt.
If you are receiving login approval requests from Duo that you didn’t expect or sent through a method you normally don’t use, like SMS or phone calls, change your password immediately at netid.rowan.edu. For help, follow our step-by-step instructions on updating your Rowan NetID password.
