Notices

• Users who utilise TUT login credentials were previously notified of a potential cybersecurity compromise that occurred in December 2023. The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) took prompt action to contain and mitigate the threat and potential consequences at the time. TUT further notified the Information Regulator, as per the requirements of the Protection of Personal Information Act and conducted an investigation to determine the full scope of the compromise.
  
  The investigation has been concluded and confirmed that the swift response and containment actions taken were effective in halting the threat activity. The University has implemented additional security measures across its systems to mitigate against future incidents, as well as improved monitoring with enhanced alert systems.
  
  Users are urged to remain vigilant of any suspicious activity and to take precautionary measures to protect personal information. This includes remaining cautious of phishing attempts or unsolicited communications that request personal details or financial information. 

  1. Reset your password frequently and create a strong, unique password that is not used for any other online accounts. 
  2. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your account, if this has not yet been done. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second factor, such as a code from your phone, to log in. 
  3. Beware of scams, particularly those targeting prospective students and report unauthorised activity. Click here more information.
