University staff and student instructions for reporting information security issues are stored in the Flamma intranet – for information security reasons. For example, if you suspect that your password has fallen into the wrong hands or that you have been scammed, immediately turn to Flamma’s instructions and report your observation.
In urgent situations, you can also contact the University’s IT Helpdesk directly. The IT Helpdesk experts help you with the first actions required, asking you detailed questions about the issue.
We also hope that parties outside the University of Helsinki inform the University if they detect information security deviations related to our University. For example, if you come across a situation where spam or malware is distributed from a University of Helsinki email address or a University of Helsinki information system is otherwise involved in an exceptional situation, we would appreciate it if you reported this to us.
