Bogus invoices from the University

Published: Posted on

We have had a lot of reports about fake invoices apparently sent from other members or departments in the University.  A new trick being deployed is to add an extra address in the from: field after the name but before the actual address in the from: field.

This tries to trick people into downloading and running a javascript (JS) program.

The image shows an example of a fake invoice notification and illustrates aspects of the email that make it look suspicious.
