[ecrea] HOUSE-KEEPING message / important phishing warning (nr. 2)

Dear list members,

This is another message to warn you for a phishing email that is 
circulating again. I received the first one mid-January, and today the 
second one.

The phishing mail cloaks itself by pretending that it is originating 
from the commlist. The "from" address fraudulently and incorrectly is 
"ecrea <(ecrea /at/ listserv.vub.ac.be)>", even though the email does NOT come 
from the emailing list. (It is a classic trick, and very easy to do.)

The subject is the same as the previous phishing attempt: "[ecrea] 
Senior Lecturer in Digital Culture: Royal Holloway". The document has 
this hyperlinked text in the body: "Carpentier Nico doc". The link takes 
you to a website that is most likely hacked (this time it is 
http://gowallstars.com). The mail itself comes from a server called 
ooofeniks.ru.

You can easily tell that this email is fake, because hyperlinked 
messages are not allowed on the commlist, and they are not distributed. 
Links can be included, but they have to be in ascii (and not 
hyperlinked) and thus visible. This email still has an hyperlink in it.

I have no way of knowing whether who has received this phishing email, 
but if you have, I would strongly suggest not to click on the link, and 
to delete the message. If you have, please contact your ICT support 
centre (and take all necessary actions).


Do be careful,
Nico
