Hey everyone:
If you do a Google search like the following:
ezproxy username password
You get a lot more results like the hrkfiles.blogspot below. Might want to add your institution’s name to the search to see if anybody’s advertising a login
for your library. I wouldn’t advise visiting these sites without anti-virus software and NoScript running, however; some of these pages look pretty shady.

This is good and bad news.
The good: Google is great about taking down these sites.
The bad: not all of those URLs are going to library proxies. Some are going into the OPAC systems, revealing private patron information. (U.S. FERPA issue)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
* * * Apologies for cross posting * * *
We have just noticed this blog site that provides login information for library proxy servers and we thought as it contains sensitive information, you may want
to report this so it is removed and if you are listed, you may want to change the login information.

Please forward this to whom it may interest.
