The phishing scammers are at it again. The mail below is “spoofing” a university account, or they are using an e-mail account that they have hijacked to send out mail to fool Stellenbosch users into divulging their personal e-mail addresses, account names and passwords. Do no respond to it or go to the site in the mail.
Here is the example of the mail that several SU users have already received:
From: SU staff member <sunstaffmemberaddress@sun.ac.za>
Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 10:05 AM
To: ‘dummyaddress@mail.com’
Subject: Dear Stellenbosch account users.

Die phishing skelms is alweer bedrywig. Die e-pos onder vervals `n universiteit e-posadres of gebruik `n e-posadres wat hulle gekaap het om e-pos aan Stellenbosch-gebruikers te stuur. Die e-pos mislei en oortuig die leser om sy persoonlike e-posadresse, rekeningname en wagwoorde bekend te maak.
Moenie daarop reageer nie en moenie na die webwerf in die e-pos gaan nie.
Hier is die voorbeeld van die e-pos wat vele US-gebruikers reeds ontvang het:
From: SU staff member <sunstaffmemberaddress@sun.ac.za>
