This is an excerpt of an e-mail we just got from the UC Davis CIO. Crazy stuff.

"During the last few weeks, there have been an increasing number of compromised UC Davis email accounts that are being used to send spam. We disable these accounts as soon as we are able to determine there has been a problem. However, in most cases, enough spam has been sent from the compromised accounts to cause Internet Service Providers (ISPs), such as Comcast, Hotmail, and Yahoo to block all email from all UC Davis email addresses and to list the campus outgoing email servers on their Real-time Block Lists (RBLs)."

Tell them to stop using HTTP for webmail and fix their wireless. That's probably how they got the passwords.

People are getting their accounts jacked because they respond to phishing emails asking for their user id / password. Sigh...
