Just a heads up, several of our users have reported receiving a new targeted phish email pretending to be from our domain. The provided link goes to a site that looks identical to our customized MBC Google Apps login page. The only only clue to end users is that the link goes to http://lisafoxexercise.com <http://lisafoxexercise.com/> rather than our domain. You may want to be on the look out for similar messages to your organization. (link de-fanged). The sender email address is also bogus, but may look real to a user. -- Sample Message -- From: Mary Baldwin College <eresource () mbc edu <mailto:eresource () mbc edu>> Welcome to Mary Baldwin College This is to inform you that your Mary Baldwin College Webmail profile needs to be updated.
