<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hello, I'm not sure if this is related to the other reports below, but we just experienced a phishing email virus sent to our users, which specifically refers to "library services" in the subject line and even includes our full name, paper mailing address, and circulation email address in the signature (which appears to be copied right off our homepage footer). The email of course tells the user to click on a link which will then trick them into giving up their campus username/password. I'm guessing that the intended use of this is to hack the library databases, because of the way the library's identity is targeted in the phishing email. We definitely know of some patrons who have been tricked already.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">So I'm expecting some vendor blocking problems to arise in the next day or two.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Has anyone else gotten attacked with a similar phishing attack that reference the library in particular, lately?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Melissa Belvadi, UPEI</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 12:29 PM, Heather Shipman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:heather.shipman@cornell.edu" target="_blank">heather.shipman@cornell.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here at Drexel we had a hack of 4 users account on Sunday, and the accounts were used to download massive numbers of articles from ACS. ACS subsequently blocked our access through
our EZProxy IP address. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just got off the phone with Richard at ACS about this, who let me know that many universities had user accounts hacked in the same way, and this breach was affecting several other
publishers as well. I was surprised I hadn’t seen any traffic about the issue on this listserv – has anyone else been blocked by ACS or another publisher in the last few days for excessive downloading?

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FYI – ACS says they are not unblocking any IP addresses until they have the issue resolved, at which time they’ll email all their affected customers about reinstated access.
