Instructor’s email account hacked 

On Friday, March 8, an OU special instructor met with OUPD to discuss pressing criminal charges against a family member who she said accessed her webmail account without permission. The instructor also told police she believed her phone had been tampered with and she wanted to change the locks to her office.

The instructor said that on Feb. 24 at approximately 6:57a.m., her email was accessed by someone other than herself.

The instructor told police that nobody had her password or permission to access the account. The instructor was told by the OU IT department that one IP addressed that accessed the webmail account was from an account that did not belong to her.
