I got another one from sfrost6@myune.edu.au. Subject heading “Exam questions due tonight” with a single red button that said “Read message”

Possibly ProctorU. Just saying.
My class COSC101 T1 received a similar email for a Slack invite, with the Red read message.
It appears the attempt is to acquire everyone’s MS 365 account, has the login prompt is quite close to that of the 365 login prompt.
The domain for this link is: readserviceinboxn.bar
The subdomain is UNE reflective: myune.edu.au
Since the subject was relative to a Slack invite, to which is a closed invite amonst the students including myself, I suspect whoever is doing this is or was a Student, how else would the spammer know that COSC101 uses Slack for communications?
