Wow that's amazingly real looking.

Edit: I think he copied/pasted the real email, and AT automatically linked the URL. I doubt the real link goes to the real eBay page.

That's most likely what happened. boi, what url does the link take you to when you click the one in your email?
 
Ahh the page is all messed up now because of the long link.

It's hosted on gradserver.ads.orst.edu

I have a feeling some stupid kid is gonna get kicked out of school soon.

Same here. I'm putting "gradserver.ads.orst.edu" as the login and for the pw I put stuff like, "LOL YOU ARE SO SCREWED BUDDY! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

The password box looks like you can put unlimited text.
 
Hello,
I checked out the machine and it appears that someone in that department didn't do a great job of securing it. 🙂 We kicked it off the network until they get it fixed. I don't think it was someone here that was doing it, but that department will examine the machine and hopefully come up with something. The traffic logs didn't seem to have a pattern to indicate if whatever was collected was being picked up at regular intervals from a specific address, or simply relayed to the miscreant who set that up.

At any rate, thank you to Patrick P. for emailing us about this.
