OK.  I also think I heard a report or two of the notification ending up in a spam folder.

Those who use a federated login instead of local authentication were not affected and perhaps not even notified?

We did some analysis and there is a delta of about thirty users for us between those who received the email and 
those who are listed under our Educause account as users.  I am not sure if there is a concept of an expired account 
that could be accounting for the delta.


Thanks,

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.

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.

There are two rules to follow with your account passwords:
