6 CommentsThere are sketchy emails currently being circulated through the Columbia LionMail network, and some are being sent from actual Columbia students’ email addresses after they clicked on the links to the first one. This might mean that some accounts are being hacked, but this cannot be confirmed. If you receive an email such as this one DO NOT click on the link or enter any information (obviously, guys, come on) and forward the message to askcuit@columbia.edu immediately.

@Charles Sanky, CUIT employee Yeah this email is definitely not from CUIT. Please don’t open it or enter your info! CUIT has been informed. Thanks everyone!
@FYI The real thing would be sent from uni-account@columbia.edu and won’t contain a “Revalidate” link. Here’s the full text of a real password reset email:
