We've been subject to a fairly sophisticated phishing attack over the last week. An email which looked as though it had come from our Helpdesk, asking people to log in to their email account, and a link directing them to a very convincing fake of our main log in page. All standard techniques, but brought together to look real. We wrote a blog post about it on our CiCS News blog here, and prompted people to look at our phishing video produced by our intern last year.

MUSE is dead, long live MUSE
Well, back from hols - great relaxing break, only spoiled by the amount of emails in my inbox, most of them junk. Perhaps we should all adopt this technique - put a vacation message on saying all mails received while you're away will be deleted. As long as you give an alternative address for urgent things to be forwarded to (PA, a colleague), would it be a good idea?
Exciting day to come back to work yesterday - launch of new portal - MUSE (My University of Sheffield Environment, in case you wondered). All gathered at 8am, and after a bit of a hiccough due to a slight hardware failure problem over the weekend, some magic was done and it was live. Here's the team just a couple of minutes after it had gone live
Not forgetting Nomit who was out of shot.
All developed in house by our great team of developers, it looks really good and has been the result of a team effort. This is just the first phase, there's lots more to come. What was really pleasing was how little issues we had - we had extra staff on the Helpdesk standing by, but very little came through. So, shows what good preparation and comms were done.
There's a nice little video about it here:
The videos are produced by our intern, who is doing a great job. Here's one he's just finished on phishing:
