Good morning all,

My registrar forwarded the following phishing message sent to a closed list yesterday. It originated from a compromised 
account belonging to Cynthia Suter, the Registrar for Heidelberg University 
(www.heidelberg.edu<http://www.heidelberg.edu>). (I've already confirmed this by phone with them.)

If your Registrar subscribes to this list, they received this message, and they may have clicking on the link which 
points here: http://drive.ssl-secure.cloudns.pro/document/d/0WMPgfJDhfuD/shared/

If they filled out the form, they have exposed their credentials.

Here's the message that was sent to the list yesterday:
