[Cee-grad-students] NETWORK DOWNTIME - 7/4/2025 - 6pm-8pm - All MCECS networks
by Janaka Jayawardena 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

We will be updating the software on a core portion of our network infrastructure. The work will begin at 6pm on Friday, July 4th. The work should be completed by 8pm. During the work, expect many computers in MCECS (in buildings where we have network gear) to periodically lose connectivity. In FAB/EB, this includes computer labs (including the remote lab), office and research computers, and MCECS hosted systems in the data center. MCECS outposts we manage in other locations will also be affected. If you have any questions, please email: support(a)cat.pdx.edu -- Janaka Jayawardena IT Director - MCECS _______________________________________________ Allofthem mailing list -- allofthem(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu To unsubscribe send an email to allofthem-leave(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu

[Cee-grad-students] Beware of myPSU related phishing spams - new wave under way
by Janaka Jayawardena 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

We have seen a few different waves of myPSU related phishing spams hitting our users PSU email addresses this afternoon. Subjects we've seen look like: "Important announcement regarding your myPSU" "Significant information about your myPSU" Avoid these and report them to abuse(a)pdx.edu. OIT is going through user mailboxes to quarantine these mails. If you accidentally entered your data into any of these phishing sites, please contact OIT IMMEDIATELY. As always, be very wary of clicking on any email links that take you to sites that require you to enter your login/password information. These emails come on the heels of HR's banweb to myPSU transition emails (which, ironically, also contained links to myPSU). Stay vigilant! -- Janaka Jayawardena IT Director - MCECS _______________________________________________ Allofthem mailing list -- allofthem(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu To unsubscribe send an email to allofthem-leave(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu

Some short speeches will be made, graduation gifts will be given, and our annual Student Awards will be presented. While this event is generally less formal than commencement, celebratory dress is encouraged - we're here to have fun and recognize your accomplishments!
