The wired network at the С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ building is scheduled to be restored from August 20 to 22, 2024. This work entails updating network switches on every floor and as a result will produce several wired network outages.

Printers throughout the С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ building will be offline during this work. The wireless network will remain operational, and departmental signage, specifically digital screens, will not display content.

During this time, those on the 8th and 12th floors who utilize wired network connections are asked to switch to the wireless network.

A careful forensic investigation into the information security incident involving С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ servers has now identified those individuals (mainly alumni) whose personal information may have been exposed. Notification letters are being sent starting today – only individuals whose personal information may have been exposed will receive a notification letter.

To prevent future incidents, we have changed all administrative passwords for the systems and reset them. We have also installed next-generation anti-virus software for all staff and faculty computers for enhanced protection, re-built and re-secured impacted servers (and decommissioned others), and rebuilt С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ’s printing services. Expect to hear more from us in the future about educational efforts to prevent a similar incident from happening again.

There is no indication that this incident has extended beyond С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ. Unfortunately, governments, international corporations and public institutions around the world are being targeted by cyber criminals. We are constantly assessing and improving measures to safeguard data for our community in a digital world. If you have questions, please contact oise.info@utoronto.ca. We will endeavour to respond within three business days.
