If you use OWA to access the UTORExchange servers (not many people in our department do this…it is only for accessing university email accounts, not our usual email accounts) then you will notice a colour/logo change after March 2, 2010. The UofT I+TS people have asked that people be alerted to the following information:
Had we not provided notice, customers accessing http://owa.utoronto.ca after the colors changed should all have been suspicious that this was a phishing attack, and refused to provide their UTORid and password.
Please have all customers examine the new authentication page ahead of time at, http://owa-logo.utoronto.ca
The page at http://owa-logo.utoronto.ca looks like http://owa.utoronto.ca will look after implementation of the new colors.
This includes the browser “lock” coming together to indicate this site is protected by a certificate.
The demonstration page at http://owa-logo.utoronto.ca differs from what will be implemented at http://owa.utoronto.ca in the
following ways,
– the URL in the browser bar will be https://owa-logo.utoronto.ca/…
Customers should always make sure it is https://owa.utoronto.ca/…
– attempts to “Log On” using any UTORid and passwords will always fail.
