The archive on the EDUCAUSE site is updated in pretty much real time, so that's a place where you could follow the discussion prior to getting a digest. If you look there, you'll see that the majority of the concern was the phishy-looking links in the message(s). That was caused by (1) EDUCAUSE's normal use of a third-party mass-mailer (Informz) and (2) the click-tracking URLs that were in the message. Those concerns were compounded because the normally sluggish (at best) EDUCAUSE website was moving at glacial speeds due to the load. I noticed the delta between the breech discovery and the announcement, but that wasn't a topic of concern as I recall, perhaps partially due to the two much more important concerns mentioned above. - ken Boyd, Daniel wrote:
Has anyone else NOT received their email notification from EduCause about the security breach? The only reason I found out about it yesterday is because my CIO was watching the chatter on the CIO list about the notification. I get my security list discussions in digest form, so I had not seen the discussion here. Anyone else peeved that they waited 14 days to (supposedly) notify everyone? I’m not trying to stir up a flaming discussion (although I probably have succeeded), I really am just curious as to the mood here. Dan Daniel H.
