Uh-oh City University’s email system hacked

Those studying, teaching or working at the City University, hope there’s nothing in your email account you’d want to hide!

The police reported that a new virus infected the university’s email system last week, causing about 1,400 email accounts log-in names and passwords to have potentially been stolen.

Affected users have been notified to change their passwords and the university claims that the virus was removed before it was able to gain further access to sensitive data and information.
