Next message: Hodnicki, Joseph \(hodnicja\): "[LAW-LIB:54546] Friday Fun"
Folks,
I wanted to pass along a warning about a new phishing scheme that some
of you in libraryland may receive.
Yesterday one of our librarians received an email asking her to
participate in a survey from the AAUP. It asked her to click a link
from SurveyMonkey. Luckily she realized before clicking that the email
address looked funny.
While the text for the link said it was SurveyMonkey, we discovered
upon looking closer that the actual link went elsewhere. It was a very
cleaver scheme, since we receive so many legitimate surveys.
