Security Issue

There has been a serious breach of the IT security system - an individual allowed their password and login to be known and an attempt was made to hijack the college servers which was damaging and potentially disaterous for us. It was nobody in this department - but I have been asked to emphasise how important it is to keep your details private.

This includes the log-in issue. I have repeatedly pointed out that if you leave your computer logged in, you are vulnerable - every day I find students have gone home leaving a logged in computer - often with their email open on the desktop, PLEASE take more care!!!
