ITS Outage

Up to 12 Hour Delay Receiving Non-UNB Emails
Type :	Unscheduled Outage
Issue Status :	Initial Posting
Outage Date :	Mon, 06 May 2013 12:38:58 -
Details :	Faculty, staff and students of UNB, as well as ECN sites, may experience a delay of up to 12 hours when receiving emails from individuals outside of UNB or other ECN institutions. This delay is due to last week's successful phishing attack, generating nearly a million outgoing spam messages to be sent from UNB. All of these spam emails have caused a substantial amount of bounce back notifications that need to be processed by UNB's servers. Emails sent by unb.ca email addresses to unb.ca email addresses are unaffected by this delay.   If you have questions or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at:  heldpesk@unb.ca or 453-5199
Services Affected :	Email
Campus Affected :	All UNB Campuses
