We received some from our President, only it wasn't. It had a PDF attachment and were all stopped by Barracuda but one that got through. Even then the URL in the email was re-written.

Are other universities experiencing this? If so, what is the approach (beyond posting the phish as an alert) to help students understand that they are targets for fraud? We want to take a strategic approach to helping our students, and thought we would see if the community had any good advice. Thanks in advance, Teresa E.
