TedRogersSchool.ca website has been compromised – Nov. 18, 2011

An externally hosted website, TedRogersSchool.ca site, has been compromised. Users visiting the site are at risk of being infected. A good indication that your workstation has been infected is that the workstation will become unusable. Unfortunately, with the infection of this type of virus, the workstation’s hard drive will have to be reformatted and the OS reloaded.

The host company has been notified and access to the site from Ryerson has been temporarily blocked until confirmation is received that this issue has been resolved. The site is still accessible from outside of the Ryerson network.

If you believe that you have been infected:
1. Turn off your workstation
2. Contact the CCS Help Desk at ext. 6806 or at help@ryerson.ca for remediation
