Temporary IB Helpdesk closes on 1 July

Since 8 June, work has been undertaken on the new HR system ‘SuccesFactors’.

In order to answer questions or take a look at the system, a special FASoS IB-Helpdesk has been installed in the room above Bandito, in addition to the UM-wide Helpdesk. This Helpdesk is temporary and will stop working on 1 July.

If you still have questions in the coming period, you can still contact the central Helpdesk via ASK-HR@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

Blocking of .zip, .htm and .html attachments in external emails

Starting 21 June, ICTS blocks .zip, .htm and .html attachments in emails coming from outside the UM Exchange environment, since they are common attack vectors for phishing and malware.

This may impact the exchange of these types of files with external contacts.

If you need to send and/or receive .zip, .htm and .html files to/from external contacts, there is an alternative, in the form of the SURFfilsender (not to be confused with the SURFdrive).
