WHAT HAPPENED?

 
The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has released an Activity Alert (attached) to warn of ongoing ransomware and malware attacks directly targeting educational institutions. 

WHAT TO DO   

Please review the document and note that your UCSF computer or laptop should already be on a regular update (patch) cycle for standard ITFS-supported software that updates the software automatically without you having to do anything except reboot the device when requested by the system. For applications installed outside of central IT review update prompts at the appropriate vendor site to verify validity.
