Cyber incident - weekly round up

16 Aug 2023

This week’s key information – 16 August 2023

We are now entering the confirmation and clearing period, therefore planned IT changes are at a minimum.

Here is a reminder of last week’s key news updates:

Please login to read an update about the VPN service.

If you’re having trouble logging into University services it may be that your password has been reset.

To re-gain access visit the IT Account Manager (https://iam.manchester.ac.uk/) and follow the ‘Account recovery’ process to set a new password.

If you’ve changed your password and still cannot login please first check your devices for any stored passwords and ensure you update them.

If you’re having difficulty you’ll need to contact the IT Support Centre (https://www.itservices.manchester.ac.uk/help/).

After setting your new password change your eduroam Wi-Fi settings, on all devices (including mobile phones) to account for your new password. Help is available on our changing your password web page.
Stored passwords must be updated – for example, if you use a password manager. Log out and then back in again with your new password for Microsoft 365 apps such as Outlook and Teams.
If your device repeatedly tries to login with your old password you may be locked out of your account for a short time.
If you are off-campus login with your old password until you connect to the network on campus when you can use the new password.
