Phishing concerns cause double trouble

Episode 1: Last week the administrators of 7,000 university websites were being
called upon to change their .edu domain account passwords after a server

Educause -- the non-profit higher-education IT group that runs .edu -- via an
email that some recipients complained bore the familiar markings of a phishing
attempt.
