🛡 Cybersecurity Awareness Month 🛡
WATCH OUT 👀 FOR TICKET 🎟 SCAMS!

WHAT GIVES THE SCAM AWAY?
1️⃣ They found you. You didn’t find them. (They work on the comment sections and group chats under ticket posts.)
2️⃣ The account is days old. (New handle, few followers, photos lifted from a real student.)
3️⃣ Only untraceable payment is accepted. Zelle or Cash App to a stranger is cash. No refund, no dispute.)
4️⃣ The proof is a screenshot. (One screenshot sells to a dozen people. Real tickets transfer in the app.)
5️⃣ Pay now, verify later. (The countdown stops you thinking. The “transfer site” wants your login.)

👉 Remember: Tickets only transfer inside Auburn’s official ticketing app.

📣 Change By Vendor - Microsoft Email 📣

Beginning October 1, 2026, Microsoft is retiring a legacy connection method called Exchange Web Services (EWS) that is used by some email and calendar applications. This will likely affect Apple Mail or Apple Calendar on macOS, Legacy Outlook for Mac, and any other third-party applications that rely on EWS.

👍 To prevent any disruption with your Auburn email, AU OIT recommends swapping to Microsoft Outlook as your main email application. 👍
