More Phishing problems not in ICANN's report: New Zealand University eMail Server Used to Send Spam
All, Seems ICANN's own COB's home countries main universities is also engaged in Phishing... I for one am not surprised... See: Four staff members at the University of Otago (New Zealand) fell prey to a spear phishing attack that tricked them into providing their login credentials. The attackers used the information to gain access to the University's computer email server and used it to send about 1.55 million spam emails. The phishing emails appeared to come from the University's IT department; the recipients were asked to provide user names and passwords or else their access to email would be revoked. University of Otago staff members have been warned that requests for login information are "most likely fraudulent." http://www.odt.co.nz/print/17905 Regards, Spokesman for INEGroup LLA. - (Over 281k members/stakeholders strong!)
