Special Alert - Beware of Bogus IEEE Emails

For the latest alerts, please visit www.ieee.org/alias

The IEEE has learned that IEEE email alias users may have received messages that appear to be from a legitimate IEEE source asking for confirmation of authentication information or credentials.

These email messages are not from the IEEE and are suspected to be phishing scams, please delete them. If included in the messages, please do not open any attachments or click on any URLs.

These types of email messages typically attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive member information by claiming that such information is required for account verification, to prevent account termination or some other course of action in connection with IEEE services.

As a policy, the IEEE will never ask its members to provide or confirm sensitive information via email.
