Phish Bowl Alerts

A classic phony maintenance alert with familiar clues -- from non-Brown address, missing To field, bad links (Help link points elsewhere) -- attempting to be more authentic by inserting an Office of Information Technology logo. Don't fall for it and mark as phishing if you receive it.
