Outlook Web Access phishing attempt

A compromised account has delivered emails to University accounts with a link to a page which looks very similar to the University's Webmail (OWA) page. This page attempts to trick you into typing in your MWS credentials, which it then copies and steals to gain access to University systems and data. 

FAKE: Take note of the URL highlighted in the red box below
