The Issue
Recently, we have received a number of phishing (fishing) attempts targeted at our community. The phishing attempts have been hosted on a provider called webs.com. A number of these attacks have been successful. As a result, we have had the attacker send tens of thousands of spam messages from our system to other internet addresses. We cannot let that continue because it will lead to blocks on messages from our address by the spam filters at other organizations. In order to minimize the threat to you, we are, as of today, quarantining all email messages with links to webs.com.
