A cyber intrusion detected last Friday morning caused the Research Foundation Central Office ITS team to isolate all systems. Restoration of the PACS system, including testing and calibration, is currently being completed, and it is hoped that the system will be available for use in the upcoming business days. To ensure safe usage, the system is being restored using the June 30th back up data. Data entered after that date will not be recovered. Please also note that notifications will not function upon restoration, as those functions are still being reviewed.

OSP's Grant and Contract Administrators will work to manually restore data from July 1 onward, and workarounds are in place for upcoming proposal deadlines. Until the system becomes available, please contact OSP (osp@binghamton.edu, x7-6136) with any questions about submitted
