Do you need to use a computer? Many options are available at the computing labs across K-State’s Manhattan campus.
You must use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when accessing protected proprietary and confidential data and campus resources while working offsite on an unsecured wireless network. A VPN encrypts your data so it cannot be intercepted by others using the same unprotected wireless network, such as at a hotel, airport or coffee shop. K-State’s VPN is GlobalProtect and is free for all active K-State students, faculty and staff.
Are you working on a big project this semester and need an extra monitor? Use one of the Hub Monitor Stations in Hale Library. The stations are located throughout Hale Library: 18 on the second floor, six on the third floor and six on the fourth floor.
The stations provide a quick and valuable double monitor experience for anyone using a laptop. With a hub monitor and the USB Type-C cable, you can easily connect a device to a single screen, allowing you to multitask more effectively and increase your overall productivity. The monitors work with both Windows and Mac operating systems. The stations will also charge your connected device while you work.
The Hub Monitor Stations can be used during the Hale Library hours of operation.
Phishing scams are used by cybercriminals to trick you into sharing personal information, such as passwords, credit cards, social security and bank account numbers, by sending you fraudulent emails or directing you to a fake website. K-State and legitimate businesses will never ask for your account, personal or financial information by email. Learn what a phishing scam looks like.
Sophisticated attackers will even attempt to get you to disclose passcodes from your Duo app to bypass the protections that two-factor authentication provides. K-State will never ask you to provide a Duo passcode immediately after completing the standard login confirmation. If you are ever asked to give that in combination with your password – you are being scammed. Continue reading “Be aware of phishing scams”
