With nearly 700 courses connected to Blackboard, he said he is more con cerned students could gain access to a professor's account in which case the stu dent would have access to grade books. "I put much more effort into pre venting that from happening" he said. Albrich has suggested that lab man agers post signs in computer labs ex plicitly reminding students to log out of their accounts and quit the browsers they were using. He said the Computing Center is also working on a systematic change that will lessen the chance of someone accidentally viewing another person's inbox, but in the meantime, students should fo cus on logging themselves out. Currently, there is a default time out of about 15 minutes, which stu dents can make longer or shorter in their e-mail preference link. Students who find themselves thrown into someone else's account can simply click the logout link and return to the login screen, Albrich said. He said some students don't take the threat of identity theft seriously. "People have a false sense of securi ty, " he said, adding that many stu dents often tell him they don't care if people read their e-mails. Albrich said, however, there is the possibility that people can do some thing illegal with someone else's ac count, such as sharing illegitimate software information or other copy righted material. "An insidious person doesn't just want to read your mail," he said. Senior sociology major Dawn Yezek said she has inadvertently gained access to other people's e-mail accounts many times just from trying to log in to her ac count in campus computer labs. She said she doesn't always log out of her own account, though, because she just assumed closing the browser window was enough. "1 check it so often that I just don't think about it," she said. Yezek said she has also experienced someone tampering with her own ac count. Recently, she checked her e-mail and found about 10 messages from people she didn't know responding to a message that had been sent from her account, lire message had prompted those who received it to reply. "I did not send that," Yezek said. "It was really weird, and I was really confused." Yezek said she originally assumed someone had gained access to her ac count and was sending messages to random people because she had for gotten to log out. But Albrich said the problem was likely the result of a vims Yezek's com puter contracted through a previous e mail. He said there are numerous viruses that can impersonate the sender of an e-mail, which makes it impossible to determine the real sender of a message. "I get virus-laden messages every day from my boss," Albrich said. He added there is no way to confirm who is really sending them. He said students should avoid open ing e-mails from people they don't know and thatprompt them to take an action, such as opening the attachment. Albrich suggested that when students send messages with important attach ments they should call the receiver so the person knows it is safe to open. "Then you know it's intended to be an attachment," he said. Contact the higher education/ student life/student affairs reporter atchelseaduncan@dailyemerald.com. It's finally Spring!
