How to access eIRB

Using VPN

If you do not currently have our VPN client installed on your computer, please contact the Service Desk at the information listed at the end of this message to request access. Note that VPN requires you to use Duo every time you log in off-campus.

The popularity of the Amazon Echo and Google Home devices is probably any sci-fi fan’s dream. With a simple verbal command, you can ask these smart speakers to perform anything from getting personalized traffic updates, changing the thermostat in your home, or even ordering a pizza. (Sadly, they can’t materialize Earl Grey tea… yet.)

Staying connected to the Internet at all times using devices like smart speakers, watches, home systems, and appliances is becoming more commonplace, but so is finding ways to hack them.

Recently, a number of phishing emails have been sent to the WCM community with malicious content.

The first set of emails claim to be from hackers purporting to have uploaded software on your device to track your passcodes and activities. The senders then request payment with Bitcoin to uninstall the software.

The other email claims you’ve exceeded your email storage limit and your account needs to be upgraded. It then requests that you click on a link to upgrade your account; this link leads to a non-WCM site seeking your personal info.

Hollywood has conditioned us to believe that hacking is a thrilling, high-stakes crime full of frenzied typing, loud sirens, and – for some reason – yelling (so much yelling). Who can forget the infamous NCIS episode involving Abby’s computer being hacked, and the very effective method of not one, but two characters pounding on a keyboard to thwart said hacking? (It is truly Emmy Award-winning material.)
