The University Information Security Office of Fordham University has identified the delivery of a malicious email purporting to be from the IRS sent to the Fordham community. The email is claiming that the recipient was due a tax refund and should create an e-refund account with the IRS to get it.
Most of the emails have been either blocked or quarantined but a small amount were delivered. It is likely that while they were allowed to by our Postini Anti-SPAM service, that the integrated GMail Anti-SPAM service blocked them and put them in your Spam folder. Please disregard and delete these emails.
