Security Alert – Please Be Vigilant

We have been made aware of spam and fraudulent messages circulating that falsely claim to come from ISOLS Board members.

Please note that official communications from ISOLS Board members will only ever be sent from the email address  office@isols.com

Important: Fraudulent emails may display a familiar or trusted sender name on screen. Do not rely on the displayed name alone. Always check the full email address and its extension to confirm that it comes from the official @isols.com account.

Any messages claiming to be from Board members that come from other email addresses should be treated as suspicious and ignored. Do not click on links, open attachments, or provide any personal or financial information.
