  We use Palo Alto and allow it to DNS sinkhole malware, etc. as well as a custom list of targeted bad stuff.  We only 
block the bad stuff so no one complains about that.

Subject: [External] [SECURITY] Blacklisting XYZ Domains

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

Our office recently received a request to block the XYZ domain on the university network due to the increased rise in 
phishing attacks. Has this been done at other universities and colleges and if so, was there any backlash from faculty 
members, researchers, etc.?

Best regards,
Ashley Valentijn, M.S.
