[Maggie Iaquinto]

Like you, Kevork, I was discussing phishing and pharming with my
students and got a URGENT email from the anz bank. Another terrific
example -- just in time.

 Hi Folks,

 Anyone seen this social engineering/phishing attempt from the
Educational Webmaster ( impressive title ) who lives at
upgrade75 at yahoo.com ??
Looks like he/she will cancel all accounts within 7 days if you don't
reply.

 Good example for your students ...


Take Care and Don't reply
