Registration Revision Period ends January 17
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

You are receiving this email because you are currently registered for Winter 2014 courses at the University of Manitoba. If you will not attend the U of M this term, you must withdraw from your courses before January 17 *. Graduate Studies students who are unable to continue studies this term must contact their department<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff> regarding a Leave of Absence. To all U of M students, The Winter Term 2014 Registration Revision Period for most students ends January 17, 2014.** The Registration Revision Period can be used to attend classes, test out your classroom experience and determine if you will remain registered in the courses you have selected or if changes should be made. Don't forget to review your fee assessment after making any changes! During the Registration Revision Period, you may: * Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available * Drop a class and receive a tuition refund * Switch a lecture or lab to a more preferred day/time January 17, 2014 is the last day to make changes to your Winter 2014 or Winter/Summer 2014 registration. Check your fee assessment after making changes to your registration; any fees resulting from changes are due January 17. Fee Payment: * Students with outstanding fees after the January 7 fee payment deadline have already been assessed late fees. * Students should review their fee assessment after any registration changes made during the Revision Period. * A further $40 late fee will be applied to accounts outstanding after January 17 and students will be placed on Hold. Students on Hold will need faculty/school advising office assistance to withdraw from courses. * All students with unpaid accounts will receive reminder notices by email, mail and phone; all unpaid accounts will eventually be referred to a collections agency. Remember: * Students who do not withdraw from their Winter Term and Winter Term/Summer Session spanned courses by January 17 will be required to pay the full tuition and fees associated with their registration, even if they do not attend classes. * Once the Revision Period is over, students are no longer able to add new classes or switch the day/time for lectures and labs - you may still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, but will not receive a tuition refund. * Be cautious of adding a new course too late in the Registration Revision Period - you may have missed a number of classes, and have assignments due right away.

[MALWARE WARNING] - Cryptolocker Ransomware
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

MALWARE WARNING – Cryptolocker Ransomware Many of you may have heard of a recent threat, referred to as "Cryptolocker Ransomware". This is an extremely dangerous type of malware that has impacted several thousand systems around the world. We have had one reported incident on campus this week, so it is important that all users are aware of the threat. The malware encrypts files on an infected system, then demands payment from the victim in order to decrypt and recover the files. The primary means of infection is via phishing emails with malicious attachments. The emails may claim to be from your bank, or claim to be a tracking message from a delivery company, such as FedEx or UPS. PREVENTION We are currently seeing several blocked messages related to this attack on our Ironport (Exchange) and Spamhaus (CC Mail) filters. But tactics to bypass filters can change without notice. Be cautious with email on any account (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, QQ, Facebook, etc…) DO NOT follow unsolicited web links in messages and be cautious with all email attachments. When in doubt contact the Help Desk for assistance. LOWER YOUR RISK! * Perform regular backups of important files and store this data in a secure offline location. * Keep your operating system and application software up to date with the latest patches. * Maintain up-to-date anti-virus software. The University provides secure file storage for faculty, staff and students. Consult your local IT support staff or the Help Desk for details. University of Manitoba Help Desk - 204-474-8600 or support(a)umanitoba.ca MORE TECHNICAL DETAILS Once a system is infected, the malware restricts access to files by encrypting Microsoft Documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and PDF's found on all attached storage. This may include local and external drives, USB drives, network drives and cloud storage. Some current indicators of the malicious emails (which may change at any time) are: Attachments follow the naming convention of "Form_[random letters or numbers].zip (example: Form_nfcausa.org.zip, Form_20130810.exe, Form_f4f43454.zip) Spoofed Sender: "fraud(a)aexp[.]com" "Dewayne(a)nfcausa[.]org" Sample Subject: "Annual Form - Authorization to Use Privately Owned Vehicle on State Business" For more information Google the following: "recognizing and avoiding email scams" or "cryptolocker" Regards, DT -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ David Treble IT Security Coordinator E3-640 EITC University of Manitoba David_Treble(a)umanitoba.ca - 204.474.8340 Follow @uminfosec on Twitter Ask me about the Infosec Mailing List! http://blogs.cc.umanitoba.ca/ist-alerts/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
