Email Virus 05/03/17

(Update: Wednesday, May 3rd @ 5:05 p.m.)

Attention: Blackduck Public Schools has experienced an email worm issue.

While it seems to be under control at this point, please DO NOT click any "Open in Docs" tab that is sent to you.

(We will update as the situation unfolds via our school Facebook page and this website.)

If you suspect you've been infected, please see this link http://blackduck.k12.mn.us/email-virus-050317

Email Worm 05/03/2017 information

If you've been infected (or suspect so), please take the following steps to revoke access to your email and contacts (immediately).

Update 05/04/17: The bogus App has been administratively revoked for all users.

If you want to review which Apps have access to your account...
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps
Sign in
Click on MANAGE APPS
It won't hurt to remove any other Apps that you don't recognize. You can always allow access again later if needed.

Once you've revoked access, please continue on below to change your password.

Even if you don't suspect infection...

It is always a good idea to regularly change your password and this seems like a great occasion to do it. Whether you suspect infection or not, please change your password.

Sign in to https://myaccount.google.com/.
Under "Sign-in & security," select Signing in to Google.
Choose Password. If you see a prompt to sign in again, sign in.
Enter your new password, then select Change Password.

Choose a password that is complex (not dictionary words), at least 8-characters long (preferrably more), and uses a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and special characters.

Also, consider doing a security checkup on your account. When's the last time you did that? http://g.co/SecurityCheckup

Lastly, continue to be vigilant. Think twice before clicking any link. If something looks suspicious, it requires more investigation.
