For the past few weeks, a phishing e-mail has had success in catching
people’s information, causing it to circulate further throughout the
school, said Bob Paulson, chief information officer of iTech.
“Other systems start rejecting our e-mail because they think it’s
bad,” Paulson said. “What ends up happening is that when someone tries
to send a message, it might get rejected, and you may never know if it
sent, depending on the system (that rejected it).”
It’s only been a faculty-side issue so far. Although there are no
reports of a student e-mail being compromised, that doesn’t mean it
couldn’t happen, Paulson said.
“If the student replied to a phishing e-mail, if they gave their
information away, then the same thing could happen to them. I have not
heard of that yet, but there’s no reason it couldn’t happen,” Paulson
said.
