Most of us have received unsolicited email at one time or another. Most of the time, we just delete the message and get on with our lives. However, there may be times when some of the content of this email is so offensive or so obviously an illegal scam that we ask ourselves, "How do these people get my address, and what can I do to stop this?" Good question. Let's first examine how spammers may get your address. How do spammers and marketers get my address?

IT security risk is as much a human issue as it is a technology issue. UCSF employees who manage IT systems or develop software need to have the necessary skills to carry out their duties effectively and securely. The Advanced IT Security Training is now available on the UCSF Learning Management System and on the LinkedIn platform and provides technical training to help improve employees' knowledge and skills to protect UCSF’s electronic assets.
