[POSSIBLE VIRUS:###] [Fwd: [GECOS] Heads up! --- university spear-fishing attack in progress]

SNF Lab Members and CIS Building Occupants:

I'm forwarding the following message from John Gerth in Computer Science
who spends a lot of time worrying about network abuse, phishing schemes,
computer breakins.

As you'll see, there is a new generation of phishing scheme that appears
to come from the university computer support desk that is asking for
sensitive information such as your university ID and password.

Please be aware of and skeptical of these attempts. It's no longer only
the WaMu things about which you should be suspicious.

Thanks,

John
