5/12/14 Secuirity Update Available

UA Information Security received a phishing report this morning that actually made us chuckle, as it claims to be a notification from "The University of Arizona Spam Protection Department."  However, the email contains a link that contains "catnet-arizona-edu," and the URL leads to a website containing not only a UA logo, but also featured a "news feed" that looks fairly legitimate.  An image of the link can be found here
