Offensive 'We got hacked' emails sent from Penn addresses
📧 The University of Pennsylvania distributed a series of offensive emails to students and alumni claiming data was stolen in a breach and urging action. The messages, with the subject line "We got hacked (Action Required)", were sent from multiple Penn addresses, including the Graduate School of Education, via the connect.upenn.edu mailing-list platform hosted on Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Penn's Office of Information Security said the messages are fraudulent, its Incident Response team is investigating, and the university has placed a website banner advising recipients to disregard or delete the emails.
