UA Websites Compromised

October 21, 2011 – Between 1:00 and 1:30 AM yesterday morning, a compromised system allowed non-credentialed scripts to place malicious code on several of the University’s web sites.  The compromised web sites are using Word Press and Joomla.

The majority of the web sites managed by CIT/OIT are back up.  The remaining sites will be brought online this morning as other administrators are contacted to assist with changing credentials. We will monitor the web sites for issues or problems for the next several days.

If you experience any problems, please call the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555 or email itsd@ua.edu .

Scheduled Outages

Routine Maintenance

OIT performs routine maintenance on servers and systems every Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon. Many IT services may be offline intermittently during this time. Network access and computing resources availability (Banner, E-Learning, Exchange server, etc.) may also be affected. Since this is a low-usage period, fewer UA customers will be impacted. For questions, contact the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555 or itsd@ua.edu.
