Phishing
There's a large wave of phishing mails going around this morning claiming to be from ZEDAT support. Neither ZEDAT nor we will ever write you mails asking you for passwords or any other credentials, since in the case of abuse we lock accounts and void credentials, making such questions unnecessary. Any communication from ZEDAT will always point to domains below fu-berlin.de . If you receive suspicious emails, please let us know about it at zedv@physik.fu-berlin.de .
