UPDATE: 6:24 p.m.: New round of phishing attacks target IU Credit Union members

The latest round of phishing attacks on IU Credit Union members displays a higher level of sophistication than previous scams -- though this should come as no surprise, experts say. \nThe e-mails, sent to many IU students, faculty and staff as well as others outside the University, "warned" members that the credit union detected errors in their accounts due to fraudulent activity and urged them to click what looked like a link to the credit union Web site.\nThe URL, however, routed to a server and a fake credit union Web site based in Diboll, Texas, said Mark Weigle, the IU Credit Union vice president in charge of security.\nCredit union officials learned about the phishing attacks shortly after 9 a.m. Monday. By 10:30 a.m., they had contacted the fake Web site's Internet service provider and the page was taken down and the server removed, Weigle said.\n- For more on this story see Tuesday's Indiana Daily Student
