A Phishing we will go...

Latest attempt actually comes from an internal email address. Guessing the student responded to the last attempt, provided info, and got his account hacked. That account is now being used to try and get more information. The email contains a link that redirects a few times before loading a page that asks for user ID and password. I have not seen said page, but I'm guessing it has at best crappy reproductions of our graphic identity, but more likely, just a very generic web page. At least one person has not only clicked the link (sent by a random student) and provided the requested information. Professor Moron then calls complaining that the Sent Items folder in his mailbox is filling up with messages that he did not send, and is outraged that we cannot force the spam bot out of his account.

Are we sure this is a technical university?
