June 27 Briefs Excerpts:

Network Maintenance Planned for Tonight
There will be a network maintenance period tonight, June 27, 5-7 p.m. Internet connectivity will be down for about 30 minutes during the maintenance period. Additionally, some trailers and smaller buildings may lose network connectivity. There will also be a rolling wireless network outage throughout the site; the wireless outage will last about 10 minutes at each location. All network and internet connectivity will be restored no later than 7 p.m. The IT Division will strive to make the outages as brief as possible. If you have any questions or concerns about this planned work, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.

New JLab Email to Report Phishing, Spam Emails
JLab email addresses constantly receive spam, spear phishing and other suspicious emails from non-JLab addresses and from addresses that appear to be from JLab. These emails are attempts to get JLab computer account holders to click links that could allow hackers access to their computer or to give up user names, passwords and other personal information. If you receive a suspicious email, do not click any link in the email, do not visit any website, and never provide any information. Instead, first forward the email to spam at jlab.org and then delete the email. Emails forwarded to this address will automatically notify Cyber Security and engage the lab's protective spam filters. If you click a link in one of these emails, call the IT Division Helpdesk immediately at x7155. 

Cyber Attacks can also begin on the phone. Remember, JLab IT staffers will never call you to ask for your user name or password. If you receive a call asking for this information, note the phone number if you are able, hang up, and immediately report the call to the Helpdesk. Any time you experience any difficulties with your computer or you have any doubt about the validity of a message, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155, for advice.

JLab Personal Dosimeter Change Out Set For Monday 
JLab's semi-annual personal dosimeter change out will take place during the afternoon of Monday, July 2. This includes the dosimeters of all JLab staff, users, subcontractors and summer students. If you need to use your dosimeter during the change out period on July 2, you may exchange it that morning in the Radiation Control Dosimetry Office in Bldg. 52B, Room 4, 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Make sure to put your personal dosimeter in its dedicated spot in the dosimeter racks no later than 4 p.m. on July 2. If you will be leaving the lab before then for vacation, business travel or a long holiday, make sure to put your dosimeter in its place in the racks before leaving the lab. If you have questions or concerns, contact Becky Mosbrucker, x7236.
