We are currently seeing high
volumes unusual spam emails.
The emails are in the form of
replies to a request for a
service, when no such request
has been made.<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
Analysis has shown these to be
genuine emails from the
service provider, and so far
do not contain any malicious
code. The only impact this is
having currently is that the
emails do cause confusion to
staff who receive an email
message staying that they have
signed up to a service, when
they have not done so.<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
DTS are placing blocks on
known email addresses
associated with this current
issue and are deleting them
wherever possible, however it
is plausible that the spammer
will modify the nature of the
emails to avoid this, which
DTS will monitor and respond
to.<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
Although currently affecting
over 1,600 users here at
Nottingham, this issue is not
unique to us, and the spammer
has created an email
distribution list that
includes multiple
universities.<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
Monitoring will continue and
further communications will be
distributed to advise on how
to handle related emails that
you may receive.<br style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0">
