Currently, emails are being sent to the addresses of HHU employees, supposedly from superiors, asking for "urgent feedback", "help needed", etc. by email. According to our observations so far, these emails are always written in English and are usually sent from foreign Gmail or Mail.ru accounts, prefixed with the name of the supervisor(s).

If this email is answered, the next step is to ask to transfer money via a link for alleged vouchers or something else.

Please ignore and delete such mails or move them to the "Spam" folder.

Please note our instructions for recognising spam and phishing mails in general and CEO fraud mails in particular:
