In an important note to the Brock community, the University\u2019s ITS staff has been dealing with a large insurgence of cyber attacks called \u201cBrute Force\u201d over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

To deal with this threat, the entire Brock community needs to be part of the response.<\/p>\n

All Brock user passwords must be reset by Tuesday Nov. 26, based on the new password process<\/a> that was launched earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Cyber attacks are often able to compromise accounts that have weak passwords,\u00a0which is why Brock\u2019s protocol was changed to increase passwords to be more complex and a minimum of 10 characters.<\/p>\n

While the reset deadline is next Tuesday, all Brock users are asked to update their passwords immediately.<\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong> Users who have reset their password since Nov. 13 are not required to reset again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
