I found a phish message today with the following at the top of the message: ======================================================================= PHISHING: Legitimate organizations NEVER ask for your SSN, password, account number, or other personal data. Do NOT ever provide such information to anyone via email. ======================================================================= It was then followed by the usual request to reply to the @live.com address with account credentials. I can't figure out if the phishers are being stupid or genius. Jesse -- Jesse Thompson Division of Information Technology, University of Wisconsin-Madison Email/IM: jesse.thompson () doit wisc edu
