During routine monitoring on Saturday EMU's IT staff discovered that a server was compromised around 11:30PM on Friday. The server in question controls my.emich passwords and Banner Self Service PIN codes for both students and employees. EMU officials decided to issue the notice to all of campus since the login information on this server may allow additional access to EMU systems containing personal and banking information. While officials believe the risk of secondary access is minimal, the email urges caution especially for those employees with direct deposit.
