What is happening?<\/h3>\n

A number of Curtin websites have been redirecting visitors to websites written in a foreign language (Russian). The cause has been identified, and most websites have now been fixed. Please observe caution during this time.<\/p>\n

What does it look like?<\/h3>\n

The website will look similar to the below, with no Curtin logos and the website address (URL) will differ from a Curtin address.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does it do?<\/h3>\n

The website may ask you to enable push notifications in your browser and may perform other activities in the background.<\/p>\n

How do I make sure I don\u2019t fall for this scam?<\/h3>\n

Close the website and browser immediately if you see this website. If prompted, do not click on any popups.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
