In April, we emailed you about the and its potential effects on 91社区. All of 91社区鈥檚 central IT systems have been evaluated, and updates were applied wherever needed. That work is now complete. However, since the exploitation of Heartbleed leaves no log information on affected servers, there is no way of knowing whether credentials or data were compromised before the IT community was made aware of the vulnerability.
In order to ensure the continued security of confidential data and personal information you may have access to, we are taking the precaution of requiring all 91社区 staff to change their 91社区 Password without delay.
When changing your 91社区 Password, remember to make it complex (by adding symbols and numbers), and unique (don鈥檛 use the same password for online banking, cloud storage, social media, etc.). If you currently use the same password for other non-91社区 accounts, you may wish to change those as well. That way, even if one online account is compromised in the future, all your other accounts will be secure.
To reset your 91社区 Password, log into Minerva (accessible through my91社区 or the Quick Links tab at the top of all 91社区 websites), and go to the Personal Menu > Password for 91社区 Username. The onscreen instructions include a link to the , which helps you identify various IT services, such as wireless or VPN, where you might have saved your 91社区 Password.
Note: If you have more than one 91社区 Username that is used solely by you (for example, you have a staff and a student account), your new password will be synchronized and apply to both accounts.
We take this opportunity to remind you that 91社区 will never send you a message to "click here to reset your password".
Thank you for keeping 91社区鈥檚 institutional data secure.
