A number of web applications are currently unavailable. These include CCS forms, Creative Industries Internship App, Parking App, One Card Picture Upload App, TAI, ACR and Appeals applications, Document Upload applications (choose Ryerson, xfer credits, referee and gradupload) and others.
CCS has been working since Friday to ensure Ryerson’s systems are not vulnerable to the recently announced log4j vulnerability. We have been patching systems and putting in place defenses to reduce the likelihood of a systems compromise. We have taken these applications offline while we work through the process of making sure they are not vulnerable. This is a precautionary measure and we have not seen any evidence of data theft or of any systems compromise.
We expect these applications will not be available until Monday, Dec 13th.
Update – 2:2o pm, Dec. 13th – Most of the applications are back online.
