At 3:11 a.m. Tuesday, an email was sent to several students requesting personal information. The email is a hoax and was not sent out by Murray State administrators. The email was sent by [email protected].
The scam, featured below, could become a real problem because the hackers can get a students private financial and academic information.
___________
