Beware of increased phishing, spoofing emails (En español)

Austin ISD is receiving reports of spoofing and phishing emails. Spoofing is a cybercrime where someone pretends to be a trusted contact in order to gain access to sensitive personal information. This means that staff and families could receive an email that appears to be a legitimate Austin ISD email, however it is not. 

Rest assured our technology teams are investigating and taking all the steps necessary to address the issue. At this time, our cyber security systems have caught all the spoofed emails and none have been successfully delivered.
