Re: Quiet night...what's everyone been up to today?

(I can tell this story here because I'm anonymous and no one knows where I work...)

Apparently over my four day weekend, there were phishing emails sent to a whole lot of people who work for my employer, which is a college.

Apparently over that weekend, multiple people fell for the scheme and responded.

Our email service provider blocked all incoming/outgoing email from our domain because of the volume/spam reports on emails originating from it, and last I heard, one of our guys was on the phone with someone from said provider who was telling him that they might not be able to restore service without doing an all-user password reset.

This would likely affect not just faculty and staff but students. Just after the winter semester started.

I work in a different section of IT and could do absolutely nothing to help with this issue, all I could do was sit on the department discord and watch other people metaphorically bashing their heads against the desk, swearing, and asking if they're allowed to drink yet.
