Hi Todd,

I think that you may get better results by asking if there are any
universities on this list that have NOT be successfully hit by phishing
attempts.

My guess would be that those do not get any email :-)

Phew!  I was worried that maybe we were the only one....

FWIW, at our place, we find that those being fooled.....
3 out of 5 are profs... 1 out of 5 staff, and 1 out of 5
students...  In spite of the fact that we have something like
10 times as many students as the others combined.
