Hello Everyone,

Has anyone dealt with the site http://getstudyroom.com, also goes by the name StudyRoom.  It's a social networking type 
of site promoting to students the ability to work together on class assignment.  What WVU is experiencing is that when 
students sign up on this site that there's an increase in unsolicited e-mail to students from the @getstudyroom.com 
domain.  It's also thought that StudyRoom uses students' login credentials to attempt access to other university sites. 
 Thanks.

Alex
