As we are STILL receiving questions on the authenticity of the SPAM/PHISHING EMAIL reported last week, and MSE members are forwarding to others to question, PLEASE READ the original message sent last week.  Please DO NOT EVER fwd suspect messages to others, instead fwd as an attachment only to 'abuse at purdue.edu'.  DO NOT OPEN, CLICK, SCAN THE QR CODE, NOR REPLY TO SPAM MAIL! This was confirmed as spam attempt last week by ITaP, who will NEVER SEND A QR CODE, OR EMAIL YOU ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT. (see example forwarded below):

Good Evening MSE Dept.,

I just received a phishing email allegedly from 'administrator at purdue.edu', and reported it to 'abuse at purdue.edu' as suspect spam mail.  If you receive a message saying you need to change/update your password within 24 hours, containing a QR code, and no signature line, please report it to 'abuse at purdue.edu' by forwarding as an attachment (NEVER fwd the actual suspect email, nor click on anything within the message).  I moved it to my junk mail and blocked the sender, then deleted it altogether.  I spoke with ITaP, and they confirmed they would never send an email regarding your password, nor a QR code, and if they have issues with your account, they will call you for verification.

Thank you,
