IMPORTANT NOTICE: Biowulf user passwords being changed (Biowulf)
Date: 26 February 2008 18:02:47From: staff@helix.nih.gov (Helix Systems Staff)
As a result of a user account compromise, one of the Biowulf administrative systems was in turn compromised. User batch jobs have not been affected by the intrusion. At this time, we believe we have restored the integrity of the system. However, because we cannot guarantee that user passwords have not been compromised, we must assign all users new passwords. The system will be rebooted at 6:45 pm. When it returns, all user accounts will be disabled. You will be contacted by phone within 24 hours by a Biowulf staff member, who will give you your new password for both Biowulf and Helix. If you need access to the system before then you may contact the NIH IT Help Desk at 301-496-4357. We apologize for this inconvenience. Helix Systems Staff
