I wanted to make you aware of a cyber security incident that may have impacted members of our community and provide you with information and resources to help anyone who might have been affected. Please know that UCLA is committed to the security of your personal information and is working to address this.

UCLA is continuously looking out for your cyber safety. One of the ways we are increasing cyber safety is blocking known malicious threats on the VPN and Wi-Fi networks, effective June 17, 2019. 

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), which is the perfect time of year for individuals, businesses, and other organizations to reflect on the universe of cyber threats and to do their part to protect their networks, their devices, and their data from those threats.

Did you miss our IT Services Customer Forum on November 2nd? Here’s what happened.

On the morning of October 21, 2016, malicious actors launched a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack against Dyn, an organization which provides managed DNS services to companies like Twitter, Spotify, Soundcloud, Github, and many others. The outage also affected Box, which is used throughout the UCLA campus.  

Security breaches are unfortunately becoming everyday occurrences, and companies must be vigilant about protecting their online data. One security system widely utilized is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Legislation requires disclosure of security breaches of personal information contained in computerized data.
