We have seen a sharp increase as well and know of many other schools that has as well. We have implemented Captcha validation as our first step to reduce the fake applications. ======== Doug Brooks Director of Technology Infrastructure Campus Technologies Parkland College dbrooks () parkland edu<mailto:dbrooks () parkland edu> W: 217-353-2661 C: 217-621-8550 From: The EDUCAUSE Security Community Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> On Behalf Of Sosa, Byron Sent: Friday, February 15, 2019 1:59 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] How do you deal with "fake" student applications? Good afternoon. I have recently become a member of this forum and am impressed by the guidance that I have seen flowing back and forth. First of all, thank you for sharing. Second, I have also seen an increase in the number of "fake" student applications that are submitted /received at my institution and I was wondering if anyone else was having the same experience? If you are, is there any guidance that you can please share with regards to how you deal with these in your environment? Thank you in advance and have a good day.
