I wanted to share this as it may be arriving soon at a community near you. KU and the Lawrence community were hit by a hybrid phishing and vishing (voice phishing) attack over the weekend. Residents received calls Saturday night. The calls do not appear to be limited to just members of the KU community--my theory is they were wardialing through all the local exchanges. I had a message on my machine from about 10pm, but according to the paper some people were called as late (early?) as 1:30-2am. It appeared that the group doing the calling may have followed up with e-mails as well. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2008/jun/30/beware_fraudulent_callers_solic iting_personal_info/ -Julie ____________________________________________ Julie C.
