Security Incident [Updated]: Temporary Service Restrictions

We are currently handling a security vulnerability affecting Linux systems.
As a precaution, we have temporarily restricted access to some systems (including login nodes) while we apply security updates and perform necessary checks.
What we are doing:

  • Applying security patches to affected systems
  • Rebooting nodes to ensure the fix is fully in effect
  • Verifying system integrity before restoring access

What this means for you:

  • You may experience temporary login or service disruptions
  • Running jobs may be delayed or interrupted in some cases

What you should do:

  • No immediate action is required from most users
  • If you had active sessions, please reconnect after services are restored
  • As a general good practice, avoid reusing passwords and keep your credentials secure

At this time, there is no indication of misuse of user data, but we are proceeding with caution due to the nature of the vulnerability.
We will restore access as soon as systems are confirmed safe.

Thank you for your patience.
