Subject: [SECURITY] Get Study Room site

 

Hello Everyone,  

 

Has anyone dealt with the site http://getstudyroom.com
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://getstudyroom.com&k=yYSsEq
ip9%2FcIjLHUhVwIqA%3D%3D%0A&r=o50KCUcRVN10tgtglyNVFw2kmizyPIIFTSGui%2BBSZ5A%

6366dc28a44d3276c0a7b3aec2ebd8ac377f0435fc352dec74> , also goes by the name
StudyRoom.  It's a social networking type of site promoting to students the
ability to work together on class assignment.  What WVU is experiencing is
that when students sign up on this site that there's an increase in
unsolicited e-mail to students from the @getstudyroom.com domain.  It's also
thought that StudyRoom uses students' login credentials to attempt access to
other university sites.  Thanks.
