Update 4 p.m. June 3: Information and Educational Technology is reporting "the immediate problem presented by today’s malicious spam attack on campus email has been resolved." "Delays in email delivery caused by the attack have ended," reads an update on the IET status page. Original article: IET security administrators today (June 3) identified a malicious email coming to campus inboxes; it includes an attachment — Document.zip — that should not be opened. Further, you should not open any .zip attachment. Instead, delete the entire message.
Campus mail routers are blocking the Document.zip attachment, and system administrators are working on blocking the messages within Office365 when the message is not handled by the campus routers. Mail queues on mail routers are very high at this time and there may be delays in mail delivery.
