MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Great, something else to worry about. Anyone a first year applicant that had to change their password? I'm a first time applier, and I didn't have to have my password changed. Darn, I guess that means I probably didn't get it. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBones Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Zomg, only an hour until the server goes down and they post the rezults! Yeah... I'm skeptical about that. The last there was "scheduled maintenance" and everything was supposed to be shut down, I could still get it the whole time. I think this means nothing. Again, I'm not worrying about anything until I get that e-mail. Then I'm either going to drink, or I'll go drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekog Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I really don't see why anyone would register a domain name just to include a line that isn't actually even necessary in constructing a fake email. Maybe I'm just naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense to me, but we'll see. Since I don't have an NSF GRF, I can't say where I normally would get their emails. However, I know whenever I do get e-mails from the NSF GRFP system, I get it from "grfp@nsf.gov", which routes through ursa.nsf.gov (Postfix) to kava.nsf.gov (a gateway). It would really be something if this is a targeted phishing attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
