Genuine or phishing attempt?

[RobEllis]

I received this email earlier today from donotreply@isc2.brightspace.com. Is this a genuine isc2 communication?

Thank you for sending this along, @rslade. These do appear to be the same, so I will go ahead and merge them together.

Just FYI, I received one of these a few minutes ago, so the misguided email campaign appears to be continuing.

Ha, ha, ha....

Don'cha just love it when InfoSec/Cyber security folks respond to this kind of thing....  Love it.  Security pros doing what they are preaching, outstanding.

@amandavanceISC2 & @SamanthaO_isc2, for the record, I too received such an email a few hours ago.

(I've disregarded it, but was wondering whether any progress has been made in addressing this.)

[gudguy1a]

Hello there.

Yes, they responded earlier in the thread. Just disregard at this time.

[amandavanceISC2]

All,

We apologize for the inconvenience. Yes, a second enrollment email went out yesterday evening. Please disregard as this was sent in error and is not a phishing attack. I can confirm our Education team is working with D2L to resolve this issue.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. 

Best Regards,

Amanda Vance

I just got another one of these...this is absurd.  I'm blocking learn@isc2.org until they figure this out.

There might be another reason. This hasn't been the 1st and may not be the last --- perhaps it's all to pave the way to dole out a Tolerance badge...
