Phil Dunn, Greenwich Schools Chief Information Officer
Greenwich Public Schools Parents received an email from Greenwich Schools communications director Kim Eves on Wednesday afternoon warning of a Google Cyber attack. Eves wrote that there has been a massive cyber attack across the US affecting virtually all of Google’s client base.
Ms. Eves suggests parents take a moment to review the following suggestions from Phil Dunn, Greenwich Schools Chief Information Officer.
1 – DO NOT click any links containing shared Google Docs until you are instructed to; once you click a link, you authorize the sharing of your contact information and the attack spreads;
2 – If you have clicked a suspicious document sharing link, please change your gmail password immediately.
3 – We have identified the electronic source of the attacks and are blocking it from our domain so that you should cease to receive these emails within the next few minutes.
4 – We are contacting the Greenwich Police Department to work with them in investigating this attack which appears to be emanating from the site “mailinator.com” — an anonymous email masking site.
5 – We will continue to conduct our own investigation and you can expect an update from me regularly, until otherwise stated.
