 Subject: MASSMAIL - READ THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Recently, email was sent to about 50 students, staff and faculty at the
University of Illinois advising them to access a specific web site in order
to verify usage information regarding their netid/login and password.

The email and the web site attempted to represent itself as an official
University of Illinois activity, and the email was purported to be from
"UIUC Staff" and "uiuc campus"; none of which were true.

We want all students, staff, and faculty to be vigilant about such email and
web sites.  The University of Illinois will never seek confidential
information in this way, nor will it authorize outside organizations to do
so.

If you are contacted in this way, please report the problem to
security@uiuc.edu.  If you have inadvertently provided confidential
information that may have compromised your University of Illinois accounts,
immediately change your password(s) in order to protect yourself and notify
security@uiuc.edu.
