Purdue Travel Card Security Incident - TIME SENSTIVE
by Anthrop, Heather L 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Purdue University has been notified that 450 of the Travel credit cards may have been impacted by a supplier compromise. IF you were one of those individual cardholders you should have received an email (below) please take the appropriate action as soon as possible. If you did NOT receive the email then your card was not affected and no further action is needed. To: Purdue Travel Cardholder From: Maura B Kennedy, Payables Administrator, Purdue University Purpose: Email to request notice that cardholder account should be excluded from February 5 closure and re-issue Timing: Between February 5 and February 15 Subject line: Time Sensitive - Your action required: Merchant security Incident impacted your commercial card account ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We were recently notified that your commercial card account was impacted by a merchant security incident. A merchant security incident does not necessarily mean that fraud has occurred. However, the information that was compromised could potentially result in fraud. The information compromised may have included card numbers, the card expiration dates, the three-digit security codes and cardholder names. This was not a Chase or J.P. Morgan security incident. To protect the account from unauthorized use, on Friday, February 5, the account will be closed and a new card issued. Your replacement card is scheduled to be mailed by Friday February 12. Once the account is closed, you will not be able to transact on it until the new card is received and activated. You should expect to receive your new card by Monday, February 15. You should destroy the impacted card and activate the new card as soon as it is received. If you will be traveling or have an urgent business need for your card during this time, you must contact me via email by end of day Tuesday, January 26 at Tcard(a)purdue.edu<mailto:Tcard@purdue.edu>. If your account is excluded from closure, you will be contacted by the J.P. Morgan or Chase fraud prevention team to determine a convenient date for your account to be closed and re-issued. A letter notification of the incident and the action being taken will be mailed to you on Thursday, February 5. If you notify me by Tuesday, January 26 at Tcard(a)purdue.edu<mailto:Tcard@purdue.edu> that your account needs to be excluded from closure, you can disregard that letter. If you do not notify me, your card will be blocked as described above. If you have additional questions, you may contact J.P. Morgan / Chase anytime at the number on the back of your card. If you're outside of the United States, call them at 1-800-270-7760. Maura B. Kennedy Purdue University Payables Administrator Phone: 765-494-7378 Fax: 765-494-1379

Bicycles Flexible Substrates in the Airco E-Beam Evaporator Floor waxing Health & Wellness Fair Seminar Bicycles Bicycles are not allowed in the building. This is a campus wide rule. Even with the weather turning cold, you must park your bikes in the bike rack in front of Birck. 7.03 SPECIAL UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS (a) Bicycles may be parked on campus only in bicycle racks and on bicycle pads provided specifically for this purpose. Motorcycles are not allowed in bicycle parking areas. Bicycles must be ridden on designated campus drives and bike paths. Any bicycles found in violation of these regulations may be removed and/or ticketed with a violation notice. Flexible Substrates in the Airco E-Beam Evaporator We continue to receive a high number of requests from multiple research groups to evaporate standard materials onto flexible substrates of various kinds, such as polyimides, polymers, and flexible roll materials. Because of the nature of these materials, they typically outgas during deposition in our systems so we have restricted flexible substrates to be used in the Varian only. (Base pressures in systems with flexible substrates are higher). However we have had such a high number of requests that we're now going to offer the Airco evaporator as an alternate system for evaporating materials onto flexible substrates. Effective Monday, November 30th the Airco evaporator will become the second e-beam system in which flexible substrates are allowed. We believe that by offering two e-beam systems for flexible substrates we will be able to accommodate more users more efficiently. Please let us know if you have any issues or concerns. Kenny Schwartz Dave Lubelski Floor waxing We are going to try and finish up stripping and waxing the hallways in Birck before the snow comes. Next week we will be working on the 2nd floor west wing hallways. If you have an office, you will not be able to have access to your office until 10:00AM that day. If you need access to a lab, please remember you can use the galley doors for access. Below is the schedule: Monday - BRK 2217 - 2239 (Includes grad students offices) Tuesday - BRK 2261 - 2283 Wednesday - BRK 2251 (All the far west hallway!

All User Meeting Building Closure Holiday Painting Seminar Telecommunications Upgrades Coming to Birck All User Meeting When: January 20th and 21th 7:00pm to 8:00pm Where: Lily Hall 1-105 All facility users must plan to attend either session on the 20th or 21th or your Cleanroom and Lab Access will be suspended. You must be on time and have either your Birck or Purdue ID with you for attendance purposes. Building Closure NOTICE: Upcoming building closure! The BNC will be completely closed for one day in the near future - date to be established. Only people involved in the shutdown will be allowed in the building during the shutdown. All offices, laboratories, and the cleanroom will be closed. This is an advance notice that within the next few weeks, Purdue Physical Facilities Department will be requesting an emergency power interruption to fix a high voltage power issue with our center's fire pump controller. At this time, Physical Facilities is in the process of ordering parts to complete repairs. Once parts are received and a plan of action is complete, we will send an update with a firm date and time for the power interruption. Per safety codes, power to the fire pump transfer/control was hardwired directly from the electrical substation to the fire panel when the building was constructed. This wiring bypasses our main switchboard and provides no lockout point for the fire panel. Therefore, for safety reasons the electric substation providing power to the fire pump has to be shutdown. The affected substation also supplies power to one of the building's three, 3000 amp switchboards. The Purdue Physical Facilities department anticipates the building shutdown will last from 4 to 8 hours, but this downtime is subject to change once repairs start. Only essential personnel will have access to the building during the power outage since the building will be without fire protection during that time. All CLEANROOM and LABORATORY research work will be suspended and building access closed during power outage. All exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be shut down, and chemicals inside fume hoods will need to be placed in sealed containers. General areas that will be affected by the power outage are listed below. - All chemical exhaust systems for the labs and cleanroom. - Building ambient temperature and humidity control o Offices o General laboratories o Cleanroom o Atrium - Office power and lighting (all computers will lose power) - Atrium power and lighting - Card reader system Systems NOT affected by the power outage are listed below. - Emergency power (on emergency generator power) - UPS power (on emergency generator power) - Equipment emergency power (on emergency generator power) - Cleanroom power (power from a different switchboard) - Laboratory power (power from a different switchboard) Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Mark Voorhis Building Manager Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center Office: (765) 494-3036 Holiday In observance of Martin Luther King Day, Purdue University will be closed Monday, January 18th. Painting Starting next Tuesday we will have painters in the building to paint all of the 1st floor hallways. Please be aware of the signs so you don't get in the wet paint. Thank you for your understanding in helping make Birck look betterJ Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Seminar Anantha Krishnan Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Science & Technology in Support of National Security Monday, January 25th at 11:00 am in MRGN 121 For more information please visit: https://nanohub.org/groups/bnc/calendar/details/1408 Telecommunications Upgrades Coming to Birck A new initiative across campus to upgrade Purdue's telephones into a comprehensive unified communications system will be coming to the Birck Nanotechnology Center in the next few weeks. This new system will use Voice Over IP (VOIP) to provide unification of phone calls, voicemail, Webex meetings, distribution control, video calls, messaging, etc. This upgrade and modernization will be led by the Purdue IT group and ECN, with lots of support from Birck building services personnel. Training on the new system will be provided. Please watch for further updates and roll-out.

Cleanroom Portable Tablet/Laptop One suggestion this week was to provide a shared hand-held electronic product to allow process notes to be downloaded in the cleanroom instead of writing them on cleanroom paper. This is an excellent idea, and we would like to discuss use scenarios with the person who suggested this so that we may choose the best solution. Please see Ron Reger at your convenience. Hot Plate Fume Containment A user pointed out that the hotplates in the lithography area sometimes produce noticeable fumes during baking and curing processes. To address this we will work with our sheet metal trades to design, fabricate, and install an exhausted hood/canopy over this area. This will perform the function of removing fumes out through the hood thus minimizing them in the work area. Once installed we will need to determine what effect, if any, the moving air caused by the slight negative pressure will have on cure times and/or process performance.
