Phishing Scam Discussion

At 10:31 on May 21st, a phishing email scam was sent out claiming to be giving away valuable items but requiring shipping to be paid. UMass addressed this at 11:45 the same day. While my heart goes out to anyone who fell for this scam, the way it played out was worrying. The email was from the official email account of the director of the office of post award management, so either that account was compromised or they were fooled, too. What's going on behind the scenes that allows that to happen?
