Dear alumni,

Your alumni.ust.hk email account may have received the below message, asking you the email address, username and password of your alumni.ust.hk account.

It is a typical phishing email scam. DON'T REPLY.

The information will NOT be sent to HKUST. Instead it will be sent to an outside email domain name i12.com. The matter has been reported to the HKUST as well and they are acting accordingly.

To know more about anti-phishing, you may visit the HK Government's Information Security website at http://www.infosec.gov.hk/english/anti/protect.html

At HKUST Alumni Association, we put you, our member and your benefits the first place.

Best regards,

Sean Lin
President
