Update #16 cyber attack UM
Lessons learnt
In a few weeks' time, UM expects to be able to publicise the lessons learnt following the attack on our computer systems. For our own sake, but also for the academic colleagues, and other stakeholders. Also towards the media. We expect this to happen on 6 February, when we also want to answer questions that we cannot address while the investigation is still ongoing, so as not to harm the interests of our students and employees as well as the university as a whole.
Message for Alumni: passwords
We have received questions from alumni about changing their passwords. The accounts and passwords for the lifelong alumni mail account (@alumni.maastrichtuniversity.nl) and the alumni portal have not been affected by the cyber attack, but are still blocked. So you cannot change your password at this time. But don’t worry, next week (week of 13 January) we will have more information for you. Until then, registration for the UM Star Lectures is only possible via email.
