More spear phishing + vishing

["Fugett, Julie C" <jcf () KU EDU>]

I wanted to share this as it may be arriving soon at a community near
you.

KU and the Lawrence community were hit by a hybrid phishing and vishing
(voice phishing) attack over the weekend.  Residents received calls
Saturday night.  The calls do not appear to be limited to just members
of the KU community--my theory is they were wardialing through all the
local exchanges.  I had a message on my  machine from about 10pm, but
according to the paper some people were called as late (early?) as
1:30-2am.  It appeared that the group doing the calling may have
followed up with e-mails as well.
