Penn possibly hacked? Too soon to know the details, we'll have to see what their incident response team discovers. I have a few friends that received the referenced email, they are pretty bad.
Could be caused by a number of things, from a simple forgery to a complete compromise of their systems.

Dear Penn Community,
Fraudulent emails are currently being circulated that appear to come from a Penn Graduate School of Education account with the subject “We got hacked (Action Required)” or similar.

Hegseth is a massive threat to national security. How the hell does he still have a job?!
