Update #14: cyber attack UM
Also read the summary of all the activities of the past weeks.
Please check our FAQ.
What works, what doesn’t work (yet)?
Students have already been able to consult their timetable for period 3 for a few days now, but a lot of work is still being done to make all the programmes needed for scheduling fully operational. As a result, the schedule for period 4 will probably become available a little bit later than usual. We try to minimize the delay (23 January at the latest) and hope for everyone's understanding.
No emails lost
For people wondering whether they have received all emails since 23 December: All the emails in question are dated 6 January in Outlook. When you open the mail, you see the actual sending date (anytime between 23 December and 6 January). No emails were lost.
Systems restored step by step
Regarding the recovery of all affected computer systems, we prioritise the most important central systems, which (mostly) work again. The decentralized systems will be tackled after that. Security is paramount here and we therefore ask for everyone's understanding if things don't work smoothly yet. This may take a while.
Have you already changed your password?
Until now, 27,000 members of the UM community have changed their passwords. We urge everyone to do so as a matter of urgency. Students can log in to the Student Portal. Employees can log in to the UM intranet. You will then be asked automatically to change your password. Please note: do not opt for the "password recovery" option!
