Hi,

As a follow-up to the email I sent last week, the attack to our EZproxy server stopped. The blacklist has been lifted. Users should have no problems accessing databases.

 Cheers,

Subject: [Lib-virtual-ref] EZProxy blacklist and error webpage

Hi,

Our EZproxy authentication script has been attacked. We are blacklisting certain countries where the attacks were from. As a result, legitimate users from those countries will also be blocked. They will see the following webpage and have to contact IST in order to whitelist their specific IP addresses.

Cheers,
