I truly hope I will not fall a victim of phishing because so far I find those attempts amusing.  I wrote in the past about personalized phishing attempts using an identity of local Ithaca Bank.  This time, I would like to share quickly an attempt disguised as my previous university - Ben Gurion University.  Here is the text:

It came from @bgu.ac.il account and looks pretty legit untill you reach the request for your username and password.  However the most amuzing part is the signature.  Mybe it was not intentional, but Sarah, is the name of Netanyahu’s wife and she became kind of a folk figure during his PMship (lots of comedians probably made fortune from mimiking jokes about her).  And Olmert is the family name of the current Israeli PM who is facing corruption alligations.  Those crooks got some sense of humor :)
