Re: FYI -- phishing

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Hi Gene,

The information about an EDUCAUSE server breach is accurate.

We have just notified all members and the community via e-mail and social media outlets.

The e-mail notification was sent through our e-mail marketing product (Informz). Links within the e-mail are redirected 
through our marketing product.

Please note that the password reset page (https://www.educause.edu/user/password) is responding slowly due to increased 
traffic. Old passwords have already been deactivated; therefore, you do not need to change your password immediately. 
We expect traffic to the page to decrease later today and tomorrow.

For more information please visit: http://www.educause.edu/securitybreach 

Thank you,
Valerie

Subject: [SECURITY] FYI -- phishing

I just got a phishing email purporting to be from Educause.   It contains links to sites at http://educause. informs. 
net/  (added spaces to neuter the URL).

It is a reasonably good fake and some people are likely to fall for it.

I can send a copy of the email to anyone who wants it.

Be careful!
