City Tech has been made aware of phishing tactics to deceive students for the multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes.
Attackers will attempt to trick users into revealing their login credentials or authentication codes, through emails, text messages, or websites that mimic legitimate services.
Be aware that no one at CUNY will ask for your MFA code and no one should ever approve a MFA prompt they did not initiate.
If you have been contacted to reveal your MFA code or login credentials, please report these to the Office of Computer Information Services.
