Beware of Phishing Emails
Beware of Phishing Emails
We received a few reports from customers receiving emails with the subject line, “New Update on STR Email.” This is a phishing scam and was not sent by SRT.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is a cyber threat that pretends to be someone you know via email or text messaging. They want sensitive information from you like credit card numbers, usernames, and passwords.
How to Spot Phishing Scams
Look for typos and spelling errors. For example, if an email says, “STR Email” instead of “SRT Email” in the subject line, this is a red flag. Also, always look at the sender’s email address to see if it appears suspicious. Many phishing emails also have a sense of urgency to their message or contain offers too good to be true.
If you receive a suspicious email like this, please delete it right away and don’t click on any links. We’re here for you, and protecting your information is a top priority!

SRT Celebrates National Cooperative Month
SRT Celebrates National Cooperative Month
It’s October, and National Cooperative Month is in the air. Every year as the daylight wanes and nights grow chilly, we reflect with gratitude on the philosophy that inspired our beginnings.
SRT became a cooperative in 1951, when the Verendrye Electric board saw a real need for telephone service in rural north central North Dakota. Since then SRT has grown into the state’s largest telecommunications cooperative.
Roughly 60 years later SRT evolved from telephone to broadband. Once again, our cooperative foundation allowed us to serve another real need: Bridging the digital divide and connecting rural communities throughout our territory with high-speed fiber.
Cooperative Principles
- Voluntary and Open Membership
- Democratic Control
- Members’ Economic Participation
- Autonomy and Independence
- Education, Training, and Information
- Cooperation Among Cooperatives
- Concern for Community
As a telecommunications cooperative, SRT is committed to making our region an exceptional place to thrive for everyone. SRT’s fiber provides high-speed internet to cities, towns, and ranches and farms alike, creating fertile ground for business success and quality living.
When your kids are learning and growing for their best future, we’ll connect them at the speed of curiosity.
When you are building a business that forms the backbone of our region, we’ll connect you at the speed of ambition.
And when your artistic side is inspired by the beauty of North Dakota, we’ll connect you at the speed of imagination.
SRT is your cooperative. We will always evolve with technological and human innovation to ensure we always connect you at the speed of life.
