Yes, we’re seeing a similar, consistent pattern for O365; i.e., “,smtp-mail.outlook.com:587” Marty Manjak CISO University at Albany From: The EDUCAUSE Security Community Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> On Behalf Of John McCabe Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 2:25 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Chegg Data Breach notification (Thanks to HIBP) I'm continually tracking down compromised accounts at my institution. We use G Suite and regularly get alerts of suspicious behavior. Sometimes the suspicious alert is a false positive. I do my best to detect false negatives though as that's where my visibility can be at zero for a given set of compromised accounts. If you're looking for compromised accounts that your managed threat service missed... Some of the recent compromised accounts are used to register teamviewer.com<http://teamviewer.com> accounts. Look for emails from service-noreply () teamviewer com<mailto:service-noreply () teamviewer com> where the subject is TeamViewer帐户 - 电子邮件确认 . I've reported the accounts to teamviewer.com<http://teamviewer.com> using https://content.teamviewer.com/en/report-a-scam/ which is really not meant for this purpose. If anyone has a better contact please share. Separately I've noticed some of the compromised accounts have joined a botnet and have done so using a method that is not new. The compromised account sends an email to a reasonable domain such as gmail.com<http://gmail.com> with a message that includes the email address, password and the SMTP server. If you can search over the message bodies (and your institution uses gmail) then try this string ,smtp.gmail.com:465<http://smtp.gmail.com:465> on sent email. Yes include the leading comma.

We are looking at how we want to address this, as I'm sure that many students use the same password everywhere. have any of you decided how you are going to address this? Are you notifying impacted users? Are you requiring a password reset for campus systems?
