The work for the FAB Data Center has been rescheduled
for Friday, November 20th. The schedule currently
looks like 7pm through 3am. During this power work,
OIT expects to bring most of their critical systems
down, including Banner, Blackboard, email, file services
and myPSU.
Because of the way this work is being staged, the CAT
will attempt to keep as many services up as possible.
However, some Windows related things, such as your
N: drive (and profile) as well as some software
packages may be unavailable because of OIT dependencies.
This may render our Windows labs/systems unusable for
many users during this outage.
The work in the data center is necessary in order to
proceed with maintenance work on the FAB fire panels.
If you have any questions, please contact:
support@cat.pdx.edu

The U3 software is prevalent on a wide variety of USB sticks
(thumb drives). We have found that our users seldom use the functionality of this software and are often unaware of
its existence until their user profile fills up, causing
disruptions to their work until things are cleaned up.

A recent surge in attacks (notably the conficker worm) is using a
capability known as "autorun" to travel from removable media to system
and onward.
As a safety precaution, we intend to disable the "autorun" functionality on CAT supported Windows systems.

From my regular e-mails about this, you should all know the score... DO
NOT send out any sensitive information via e-mail. Not SSNs, not
passwords, not credit card information, nothing.
PSU is constantly being barraged by a prolonged spearphishing attack.
Phishing is where the attacker tries to trick you into giving out
sensitive information. Spear phishing is where the e-mails are
specifically tailored to a target audience. It relies on social
engineering the victim to fall for the e-mail and give up some
information the attacker wants. Don't be one of those victims.
