Listserv is being used more frequently as the origination point for phishing messages to the Hamilton community. Miscreants (malicious actors that are misusing information technology resources) are spoofing listserv messages with a default ReplyTo address as a legitimate Hamilton College user. The approval request for posting a listserv message is then sent to a valid Hamilton College user. If approved, the phishing message is then distributed to all recipients on a listserv list.
Be wary! Do not approve listserv messages that you were not the author of.
