MIT is right next to Harvard..
*Might your own cultural expectations open you to attacks from a place with MIT's (recent if not current) network culture?
- oefrha 6y agoMIT uses @alum.mit.edu. I don’t think I know former employees there but at least former students I know lose mit.edu addresses, a fact also easily confirmed with a Google search. So, your point being? Edit: You added > *Might your own cultural expectations open you to attacks from a place with MIT's (recent if not current) network culture? after my reply. I’m not sure how it is relevant to your claim that “alumni are often allowed to keep their addresses”. In fact the question doesn’t make any sense to me; I’m not gonna accept an MIT job offer from an alum.mit.edu address (or more relevant to me, alumni.stanford.edu/alumni.princeton.edu), regardless of network culture. Edit 2: Reread your question and realized you were implying that MIT "recently" allowed alumni to keep @mit.edu addresses. Well, you'll need to show some proof.
- foolmeonce 6y agoYour expectations are very specific to what you know about US schools right now. MIT would let a machine receive email, many institutions would forward email to a users alum address, etc. This approach to identifying phishing is ultimately insufficient.
