Advisory: Phishing Campaign Similar to July 4 Weekend in Progress

In the last couple of days, we have seen a wave of phishing emails with subjects like

School Mail Box Validation
Mailbox Update
Re-Validate Your School Mail Box
CARD AUTHENTICATION

This is the same pattern of phishing that we experienced during the July 4th holiday weekend, documented on this blog.

Please be wary of these emails. They may appear to come from umn.edu accounts. If you see one of these, please forward it to phishing@umn.edu, report it as phishing in Google mail, and delete it.

Thank you for your efforts to protect yourself and others on the University's network!
