As reported earlier, we are taking steps to ensure that the Sussex network remains secure in the light of the ransomware attack at the UCL.
We will be deploying a series of security updates, beginning tonight. We ask all users to log out but not turn their computers off so the updates can be deployed.
Your computer will reboot during this process. This will also happen overnight for most users, but you may find that your computer prompts you to reboot tomorrow morning. Please reboot as soon as possible if you see this message.
You should also take steps to update Windows computers that aren’t managed by IT Services. This includes:
- University-owned laptops
- Your own laptops that you use for work
- Your home computer
For information on how to run security updates on your Windows computers, please see this page.
