Information Security: Protect yourself during election season

A message from Vice President for Information Technology & CIO Mur Muchane:
Dear Wake Forest community,
With early voting currently taking place in Forsyth County and the national election right around the corner, there may be a spike in attempts to disrupt our community and fan the flames of discord.

Email messages sent to individuals and groups are the most difficult to guard against.
