On Friday, May 8, they were hacked again. Mitt UiB is an open source version of Canvas that runs in UiB's own data rooms. Based on all the information that was communicated earlier in the week (note: week 19), there were no indications that UiB was affected by the hack, quite the opposite. However, the new hack and the new information that is known mean that we cannot rule out that there are significant, but unknown security holes in our version of Canvas as well. The situation is so unclear that we want to be cautious and want to make sure. We have therefore decided to put MittUiB behind a VPN for the time being. It is a simple measure that significantly reduces the risk in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this causes challenges for several of you who are on temporary employment and who mainly use hospital PCs. We are aware that VPN (UiB) cannot be installed or used on these machines, and that this prevents access to courses and teaching materials in My UiB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are now working to clarify possible solutions, both locally and at the faculty level, but this will take some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until further notice, the following temporary solutions apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To access My UiB, you must use a device where UiB-VPN can be used (for example, a private PC or UiB-PC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you do not have such access, please contact your course or semester coordinator so that we can try to assist with uploading and posting the material on Mitt UiB. If you are unsure who to contact, you can send the material to the study administration at K1\/K2: <a href=\"mailto:studie.kliniskmedisin@uib.no\">studie.kliniskmedisin@uib.no<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We are aware that this creates practical challenges, especially for teaching, and we apologize for the inconvenience this causes. We will return with updated information as soon as we know more about further solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact us if you have specific needs or challenges we should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IT department has come up with a solution where you go to the website <a href=\"http:\/\/wvd.uib.no\/?utm_medium=chat&amp;utm_campaign=link-shared-in-chat&amp;utm_source=livechat.com&amp;utm_content=www.uib.no\">wvd.uib.no<\/a> and log in to a so-called virtual machine with your UiB username and password. There you can access My UiB without VPN.
