**Executive summary:** The University of Pennsylvania is investigating a series of offensive emails sent from Penn addresses (via the connect.upenn.edu Salesforce Marketing Cloud platform) that claim a breach and threaten data leakage; the messages appear fraudulent, the university has posted a notice to ignore them, and there is no verified evidence in the report of actual data theft.
