We received some from our President, only it wasn't.
It had a PDF attachment and were all stopped by Barracuda but one that got through. Even then the URL in the email was 
re-written.

Subject: [SECURITY] Student phishing, "internship" opportunities, etc.

Hi everyone,

Our students have been getting pummeled with emails offering them "internship opportunities" or "jobs" that appear to 
be sent from a faculty member, but turn out to be fraudulent (see sample at 
https://security.arizona.edu/phishing-alert/72618-internship-opportunity).

Are other universities experiencing this?  If so, what is the approach (beyond posting the phish as an alert) to help 
students understand that they are targets for fraud?

We want to take a strategic approach to helping our students, and thought we would see if the community had any good 
advice.

Thanks in advance,
Teresa E. Banks
