Welcome to Week 1 of Cybersecurity Awareness Month at Fleming College! This week, we are focusing on Recognizing Cyber Threats.

Cybercriminals constantly refine their tactics, especially with Artificial Intelligence making scams more convincing than ever. Staying safe starts with knowing what to look out for.

Phishing

Phishing messages try to trick you into acting before you think. Spotting the signs early keeps your credentials and personal information safe.

✅ Learn the 7 red flags of phishing to help you identify suspicious emails, texts, and phone calls.

✅ Job opportunities and postings for on-campus student work are only ever posted to the Evolve Applicant Portal maintained by the Fleming College Human Resources department. Fleming College never sends mass communications about specific job postings. Refer to the Fleming College Career Services page for assistance with student employment at the College or elsewhere.

✅ Grants or bursaries notices will only be sent by our Financial Aid office (FinAid@flemingcollege.ca) or Advancement & External Relations department (alumni@flemingcollege.ca).

AI & Social Engineering

Generative AI tools make it easy for attackers to create hyper-realistic scam emails, deepfake audio, and personalized social engineering messages without typical grammar errors.

✅ Check out 9 ways to spot AI content online to sharpen your eye for machine-generated media.

✅ How cyber criminals are using artificial intelligence (AI) for online threats.

What to Do About a Suspicious Message

If something in your inbox feels off, don’t click links, open attachments, or reply.  Remember:  When in doubt, throw it out!

✅ Verify: Contact the sender directly using a known, trusted phone number or email address; don’t hit reply.

✅ Report: Use Outlook and Report a Phish.

Why?

This new system allows you to send print jobs to a universal queue and release them at any student printer on campus. It enhances flexibility, convenience, and security by ensuring documents are only printed when you release them—preventing unauthorized access, lost files, or jobs directed to the wrong printer.

What’s the impact?

All student printers across Sutherland, Frost and Haliburton will transition to the new Find-Me Printing system

When?

What?

Staff multi-function printers across Fleming College campuses will begin transitioning to the new Find-Me and Secure Release Print system. This service change is designed to improve the ease of use for printer selection, reduce waste and enhance document security.

How it works?

Send your print job to one of the universal print queues and release it at any secure release enabled printer. Your document is printed only once you visit and authenticate at the printer.

Steps to use

1. Send your print job to one of two virtual print queues, either grayscale or colour. The print queues are named:
   • Grayscale_Find-MeVirtualQueue
   • Colour_Find-MeVirtualQueue

2. Release it at any printer by identifying yourself using one of the following methods:

• • Tap your OneCard (the fastest preferred method)
  • Scan the QR code on the printer and follow the instructions
  • Log in to the printer with your Fleming SSO Network Account

Secure print and release is currently deployed across all student printers. If you experience any issues using the new Find-Me and Secure Release printing system, please contact the IT Service Desk.
