Choose Yes if you suspect someone is trying to access your account.
Selecting Yes will trigger an alert to the IT Security Office. A Cornell security engineer will check whether someone tried to improperly use your identity to access a Cornell app. This will help protect your sensitive personal information.

Choose No if you selected Deny by accident.
Your Location and Privacy
