Dear cortland.edu Account User,
We have noticed an unauthorized attempt to change your SUNY Cortland Account password from a foreign IP. This was going to result to your inability to access your account due to the password change.
We are about to terminate your account but If you know you are the authorized owner of this account, kindly reply by providing your original
Email Address (*******)
Password (*******)
so as to protect your ID and password from unauthorized access.
Failure to do this will violate SUNY Cortland’s email terms & conditions.
