Good morning,

The college is targeted for another spoofed email attempt, this time, pretending to be sent from our email server, Bug.EGR.UH.EDU.   Fortunately, the server caught the malicious attachment and stripped it from the email.  Please delete this email and continue to use caution when reading suspicious emails.  Kudos to all those who asked me about this before acting on it.  

The subject line of the spoofed email is: Important - New Outlook Settings.  The body of the email starts with: " Please carefully read the attached instructions before updating settings."  I cannot attach the original email since the server will catch it and not send it.
