More early semester phish landing at UDel

We can’t possibly post every phish we’ve seen this week–as phishers trawl for identities they can steal, bombarding UD inboxes at the beginning of a new semester. But this one has an interesting wrinkle: it claims that someone with a specific IP address tried to access your account! With that level of detail, it’s got to be correct, right?

No!
