Java Vulnerability Alert - May 25, 2013
Recently, security bulletins have been issued on the internet about risks arising from potentially infected websites that exploit a security hole in all web browsers. Click to expand/collapse.

Infected websites can take advantage of vulnerabilities in the widely used web browser plug-in for the Java platform and pose risks for Internet users. To protect against attack from websites of unverified origin, we advise using two separate web browsers for different purposes.

  1. A designated browser with Java enabled, to access enterprise UBC systems and other trusted websites and
  2. Another browser set as the default browser with the Java plugin disabled for all other web sites e.g. Blogs, internet news, gaming sites, etc.

Instructions for disabling the Java plugin can be found here. If assistance is needed in disabling the plugin for either of these browsers, help can be obtained either from your designated IT support group, or the IT Service Centre staff can help either by phone, or via the Walk-In Support Centre in the UBC Bookstore.

Student & Alumni Email Service

The new Student Email Service is an optional combination of email aliasing, forwarding, and UBC hosted mailbox. Users of this service can obtain a UBC email address, name@alumni.ubc.ca, which can be forwarded to either an external or UBC hosted mailbox.

Email Forwarding Service

All students and alumni are eligible to sign up for a UBC email forwarding address, name@alumni.ubc.ca, which can be used even after graduation. This address can be forwarded to an email mailbox of your choice (external or UBC hosted mailbox.)

This is an email forwarding service only, and does not include any kind of mailbox or mail storage services.

UBC Hosted Mailbox Service

Active students (including those with Netinfo/Interchange mailboxes) can sign up for the new Student & Alumni UBC-Hosted Mailbox service. More information on the October 15th 2012 decommissioning of the old Netinfo/Interchange email service can be found here.
