A phishing attack with the subject line “Important Message About Your University of Delaware Account” has been seen in UD email boxes.
The message looks similar to the following:
From: University of Delaware
Date: Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 7:34 AM
Subject: Important Message About Your University of Delaware Account
To: webaccount@udel.edu

This message is clearly a scam because the email is not addressing a specific person and there are no punctuation marks. Most importantly, it is asking you to change your email information by clicking a link in the message.
The University of Delaware will never ask you to change your email or account information through a link in an email.
