Dropbox, an online file repository/backup service, has been gaining in popularity. Its ease of setup and use for personal systems has resulted in rapid adoption among people trying to sync and transfer data between home desktops, laptops and other mobile devices.
We are seeing increased use of this service among faculty, staff and student users. While Dropbox is a hit at home, it has had a rocky road trying to adapt to corporate and centrally driven IT environments - both at a technical and policy level. MCECS users face many of these same challenges.

There are new variants of older malware making the rounds recently. If you are using Windows, even on a Tier 1 CAT supported system where you are not a local admin, you can still be vulnerable. The old basic guidelines against email-borne nasties still apply.

At 6pm, on
a daily basis, any VNC session on nemo that has been running for longer than 12
hours will be terminated. A message will be sent to these sessions
before the termination. This is an effort to keep nemo usable for active users due to heavy loading.
