“Officials said a “malicious intruder” accessed the GW Directory last week and launched a “phishing attack” on users in GW’s web portal, the latest in a string of scam emails targeting GW students, faculty and staff since mid-December. “
“An email sent by GWIT on Feb. 1 said the intruder obtained first and last names, departments and positions, GW email addresses, office phone numbers and campus addresses of students, faculty, staff and alumni. Officials said a series of phishing emails over the last several months masquerading as GW community members have promoted false employment opportunities, payroll updates for faculty and enrollment for 2023 insurance benefits. “
“The intruder did not compromise any personal information, and GWIT eventually blocked the unauthorized access, according to the email from GWIT. “
