Important NetBadge Security Reminders
Don’t Fall for Scams!
Remember, always verify that you are on the real UVa NetBadge page first!
In NetBadge scams, cybercriminals try to trick you into revealing your UVa password by presenting a fake, lookalike NetBadge page. Double-check the URL; it should match this URL exactly: https://netbadge.virginia.edu. That is the only URL you should trust.
You can protect yourself from such scams by logging into NetBadge using your personal digital certificate whenever possible.
