WHAT'S HAPPENING?
OIT has been warned of a possible cyberattack against State of Georgia computers.

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
Beginning at 12:00 PM, Saturday, September 24, 2011.

WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
This action is supposedly in retaliation for the execution of Troy Davis.

WHO IS AFFECTED?
It is unknown if Georgia Tech is a possible target. OIT and TSO will monitor network traffic throughout the weekend.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Users of non-TSO managed systems should ensure applications (including web applications and plugins) are up-to-date, watch for unusual behavior (unexpected increase in network traffic), and report any unusual behavior to the TSO Help Desk.

WHO SHOULD YOU CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS?
The TSO Help Desk (CCB 148, 404-894-7065, helpdesk@cc.gatech.edu).
