Computer virus circulating through faculty emails

Faculty and staff are being asked to refrain from opening any emails with the following subject lines: “Document Important,” “Important Document,” “Account Report” or “Fax sent.” OIT security is aware of a virus circulating through zip attachments sent to faculty and staff emails on the listserv. OIT stated in an email on Friday, Feb. 20, that they were working to close all points of entry the virus might be capable of entering. Until the virus has been fixed, everyone is asked to not open any zip file attachments even if they appear to be sent from known people.
