[OPLINLIST] OPLIN phishing attempts-BEWARE

[Bill]

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

One version even contains the subject line, "You have successfully 
updated the password of your Oplin account."  (See sample below)  
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 
account, and it is NOT from support@oplin.org, do not respond to it. 
And above all do not open any attachments.  

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 
webMAIL account at http://mail.oplin.org, and click "Preferences."  
You will find the "Change Mail Password" option at the bottom.

Thank you,
Bobbi Galvin
