Security firm finds US universities top phishing targets
A global cybersecurity firm tied to Russia says universities are prime targets for fraudsters. The University of Iowa is highlighted as a favorable target with UI students staff and faculty often facing faux HawkID pages. Kaspersky Lab notes 49 attempted UI phishing attacks in the last year, about 5.1 percent of total, making the US third most targeted. The firm warns its clients are protected from such pages. The context includes U.S. action on Kaspersky amid Russia link concerns and ongoing legal disputes over the ban.
