ARMS PASS Schedules
by Jennifer Louise Fifer 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Hello MSE Researchers, The ARMS & MSEE Lab PASS Schedules are having issues with updates for the past few days. ECN is aware that there is an issue and is currently looking into it. If you are experiencing any issues in particular, please let Aury and I know we can update ECN. For the time being, please continue adding lab reservations when you are able to. This is useful for contact tracing and as well as making sure the max capacity of these labs is not exceeded. Please remember that undergraduate lab classes take the priority in the teaching labs (ARMS 2093, ARMS 2130-ARMS 2191). The undergrad lab classes have the teaching labs reserved during the following times: Tues: 7am-10pm Wednesday: 9:00am-12:00pm Thurs: 7am-10pm These times are subject to change as the semester moves forward if a space is underutilized during these time periods.

Important Message from Dave Carmichael re Phishing. Please Read
by Son, Rosemary E 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Dear Faculty and Staff, There has been a spike in scam emails going out late in the week with words like “Do you have a minute?” or “Can you send me your cell, I need to send you a text” These typically look like they’re coming from your supervisor, but have a completely made up email address… eg: Mitch Daniels <mitch.daniels.purdue.edu(a)gmail.com<mailto:mitch.daniels.purdue.edu@gmail.com>> Once contact has been established, the typical ask is for a gift card to be purchased and the number sent along. Please do not fall for such emails. Your supervisors would not ask you to purchase a gift card for them. Confirm this with an independent email (not a reply-to), or better still, a phone call. Scammers are taking advantage of our increased workloads, stress and distractions to catch us in a moment of indecision - be aware and vigilant. Just be aware that I do not typically need anyone else to purchase a gift card for me. Also, for additional information you can read this: https://itap.purdue.edu/newsroom/200827-Phishing-Fall-2020.html -- Dave Carmichael - Executive Director Purdue - Engineering Computer Network V: 765.494.3546 E: carmicha(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:carmicha@ecn.purdue.edu>

Scam email alert
by Bahr, David F 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

MSE students: Yesterday there was a scam email that spoofed my name (used a random gmail address) and tried to get people to send gift cards to help me order stuff. Today the scammers appear to be pulling emails from the Purdue website and trying to send students and post-docs the same scam. If you get an email from something other than dfbahr(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dfbahr@purdue.edu>, it’s not me. Also, we will never ask students to purchase something to help us by sending us gift card numbers. This scam has been sent to the abuse(a)purdue.edu<mailto:abuse@purdue.edu> site to alert them, but as it’s evening and it seems to be picking up I wanted to get you a note about this as soon as possible. Thank you, and hope the semester is going well. -- David Bahr Head and Professor School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University http://www.purdue.edu/mse dfbahr(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dfbahr@purdue.edu>
