Folks,
You might want to warn your users about this, as a large fraction of the MSU community probably has an account with MSUFCU. I received one of the phishing e-mails this afternoon.
Hello,
MSUFCU was the recent target of several phishing attacks. We received report of the first incident this morning, 05-20-2005, shortly after 8am. The fraudulent email appears to have been sent only to
msu.edu email addresses. None of MSUFCU's information systems have been compromised.
The fraud-collecting web site (hform.com) in this first incident was shut down at approximately 10:30am. A second incident (a variation of the first, now including a graphic) was reported to us just before 1pm and we are presently taking steps to have this fraud-collecting web site (
response-o-matic.com) shut down as well. A response email has been sent to all of our members who have an email address on file with us (approx. 72000).
For further information please visit:
Please pass this information on to the appropriate network services staff at MSU and feel free to contact MSUFCU E-Commerce with any questions.
Thank you for your help.
