OIT Vulnerability Notification Program

"How can I receive warnings about threats to my computer at the university?"

You can receive alerts about emerging threats to your computer by subscribing to the umd-vnp mailing list. To sign up, type in your e-mail address in the box below (example: johndoe@umd.edu) and hit the Sign Up button:

E-mail address:

This mailing list is dedicated to informing the university community about newly announced vulnerabilities and other computer threats that are likely to have an impact on members of the university community (faculty, staff, and students). Notices can only be posted by members of the OIT Security Incident Response Team, so you will never receive any random e-mail messages from other members of the list.

If you successfully subscribed to the list, you should receive an e-mail from Listserv (Listserv is the computer program that now handles this mailing list) asking you to confirm your wish to be added to the list--simply follow the instructions in the message to confirm that you want to join the list. From that point on, you will receive alerts and information about computer viruses at the e-mail address you subscribed with.

If you ever wish to UNSUBSCRIBE to the list, send an e-mail message to listserv@listserv.umd.edu from the e-mail account where you receive the e-mailed alerts. Leave the subject line blank and in the text of the message, type unsub umd-vnp . Remove any other text from the body of the message and then send the e-mail.
