SCAM WARNING: FALSE DBI WEBSITE AT .ORG URL

Hello to our wonderful community members! We have an important message to share.​

As you know, this spring the DBI website was moved to the URL dbinterpreting.com due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Since then, our old .org URL was auctioned off by our former domain registrar and purchased by someone else. 

What happened? 
The person who purchased the .org URL has published a plagiarized copy of our website at our old web address, presumably to scam members of our community in the future. Please be advised that, while this may look like the DBI website, it is not owned or controlled by DBI. 

What are we doing about it?
We have reported the issue to the appropriate authorities. Unfortunately, as both the scammer and their web host are located in other countries, we have limited options for pursuing legal action against anyone involved.  

What does this mean for you?
Rest assured that your information is safe. We store all login credentials and other user data on secure university-maintained servers which are not affected by the URL change and cannot be affected by the scam site in any way. 

How can you protect yourself from future phishing attempts?

• Do not login to anything that may appear on the scam site at the old .org URL. While the faux site has not yet attempted to collect any information from visitors, the owner may try to do so in the future.  
• Be sure to delete all of your old links and bookmarks for our .org URL, including your DBI Moodle bookmarks and any saved passwords. You can navigate to the real DBI Moodle site at moodle.dbinterpreting.com to login. 
• Don’t use any old newsletters or emails to find links to our site. Old emails from us before this spring will contain links to our old URL.

And, as always, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly with any concerns.
