<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Mandatory JLab Account Password Reset by 1
p.m.
EDT, August
25 2010</b><br>
<br>
This weekend, a JLab user account was
compromised. That account was then used to send e-mail to a large
number of
JLab users and staff, soliciting usernames and passwords.
Unfortunately, a number of people responded and sent their
information
to a .com site, compromising their
accounts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this time, the Computer Center does not know
for sure which or how
many JLab accounts have been compromised. As a result, a mandatory
password
change is required.<br>
<br>
You have until Wednesday, 1 p.m. 25-Aug-2010 EDT (5 pm 25-Aug-2010
UTC)
to
change your password.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you let your password expire, you will no
longer be able
to log in to any Jefferson Lab CUE system. This includes all
central
interactive, batch, desktop, e-mail, calendar and web systems.<br>
<br>
Only JLab passwords that have been changed after 1 p.m.
23-Aug-2010 EDT
(5:00
pm 23-Aug-2010 UTC) are exempt from this directive. <br>
<br>
To change your password on-site or off-site,
use the web interface at <a href="http://www.jlab.org/jpasswd">http://www.jlab.org/jpasswd</a>
.<br>
<br>
The password policy is explained at: <a href="http://cc.jlab.org/policies/PasswordRules.html">http://cc.jlab.org/policies/PasswordRules.html</a>
.<br>
<br>
If you are a calendar user, please see: <a href="http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/calendar/offline-agenda.html">http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/calendar/offline-agenda.html</a><br>
to re-synch your new password with your local calendar client
software.<br>
<br>
Please remember, the JLab Computer Center will <u>NEVER</u>
direct you
to a site
that does not end with jlab.org domain link for changing your
password. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, you should always check the
validity
of such a
message <u>BY MOUSING OVER ANY INDICATED
LINK</u> to verify that the URL shown at the bottom of the
e-mail
and/or
browser is the jlab.org domain link. <br>
<br>
Please forward any suspicious e-mail to <a href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org">helpdesk@jlab.org</a>
with all headers if possible.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Please contact
the
Computer
Center Helpdesk (<a href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org">helpdesk@jlab.org</a>)
if
you need further assistance.<br>
