[OPLINLIST] OPLIN phishing attempts-BEWARE

[OPLIN Support Center]

Attention Ohio librarians -
=20
Please be aware that there is currently a lot of "phishing" going on =
out=20
there - in other words, spam e-mail disguised as messages from OPLIN=20
e-mail accounts. =20

One version even contains the subject line, "You have successfully=20
updated the password of your Oplin account."  (See sample below) =20
These are all bogus e-mails attempting to get you to disclose information
about your account.

If you receive an e-mail message claiming to be about your OPLIN e-mail=20
account, and it is NOT from support@oplin.org, do not respond to it.=20
And above all do not open any attachments. =20

If you are worried that your account has been compromised, you can
 always change your password.  To do this, simply log in to your OPLIN=20
webMAIL account at http://mail.oplin.org, and click "Preferences." =20
You will find the "Change Mail Password" option at the bottom.

Thank you,
Bobbi Galvin
