ICT maintenance - Email Systems
09/03/2021
In order to undertake urgent security maintenance in response to recent global attacks on email systems (see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56321567), the corporate email system will be unavailable tomorrow evening i.e. Wednesday 10th March from 20:00. It is envisaged that this security work will take up to two hours to complete. Staff should avoid attempting to access, send or receive emails during this time and are advised to close down their Outlook email program.
Note that during this time, emails sent to "@moray.gov.uk" email addresses from external sources will be queued for delivery once the works have been completed.
We apologise for the short notice and for any inconvenience this may cause, but given the significant security risk posed by this threat it is necessary to act promptly to ensure our email systems are protected.
