From my regular e-mails about this, you should all know the score... DO
NOT send out any sensitive information via e-mail. Not SSNs, not
passwords, not credit card information, nothing.
PSU is constantly being barraged by a prolonged spearphishing attack.
Phishing is where the attacker tries to trick you into giving out
sensitive information. Spear phishing is where the e-mails are
specifically tailored to a target audience. It relies on social
engineering the victim to fall for the e-mail and give up some
information the attacker wants. Don't be one of those victims.
