📜 “In recent years another concerning trend has emerged on social media in which adolescents present with various psychiatric impairments that are inconsistent with classical psychiatric disorder classification (i.e., using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders [DSM]). While these individuals claim to have illness symptoms or suffer from a mental disorder, many fail to seek help. Instead, they appear to incorporate their perceived illness into their self-identity and glamorize it within their communities. This glamorization of illness is detrimental to those with clinically diagnosed disorders, as it may cause them to avoid seeking help. Further, symptoms may become exaggerated as individuals become socially incentivized to signal their disorder identity to others. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent increase in social media engagement has created a fertile environment for this phenomenon to become more problematic and underscores the urgent need to better understand the significance of social media use on adolescent mental health.”

SECURITY ALERT: Executive Impersonation Scam

The University has received reports of fraudulent Google Chat messages from an external account impersonating University President Fr. Karel S. San Juan, SJ.

The impersonator is asking employees to assist with urgent transactions and make payments on his behalf. These messages are fraudulent.

Please DO NOT respond, send money, provide financial or personal information, or follow any payment instructions.

If you receive such a message:

1. Preserve the conversation and take screenshots for documentation.
2. In Google Chat, select the conversation with the impersonating account.
3. Select “Block & Report.”
4. Confirm that you want to report the account to Google for abuse.
5. Immediately report the incident to UITO Cybersecurity at [email protected]. Please include screenshots and, if available, the actual email address or Google account used by the impersonator.

University officials will not request employees to make personal payments or financial transactions through unsolicited Google Chat messages.

Please exercise caution and verify any unusual, urgent, or financial request through established University communication channels before taking action.

Please help protect the University community by reporting, rather than simply ignoring or deleting, suspicious messages.
