I just wanted to add that these people (I use the term loosely) are now text messaging members of the Lawrence and KU communities. We're keeping people updated via our blog, among other places.

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. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2008/jun/30/beware_fraudulent_callers_solic iting_personal_info/ <http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2008/jun/30/beware_fraudulent_callers_soli citing_personal_info/> -Julie ____________________________________________ Julie C.
