The following information has been added to the  http://help.msu.edu/status/
entry entitled:
"MSU NetID passwords were exposed; some customers need to reset passwords".


4/28/04, 12:50pm update:
------------------------------------------
An additional group of individuals that had passwords exposed have been
identified. These individuals were ones that used the mail.msu.edu service
from off-campus service providers. Identifying and matching up these
individuals was a longer process due to the nature of the off-campus
connection. These individuals are being notified at this time and will have
until 8am on 4/29/04 to reset their password or it will be disabled. Text of
this email is available at http://help.msu.edu/communications/ for
verification. The wording of the email that was sent to customers was being
modified slightly to increase the chance that customers will believe it is a
valid message from MSU and not discard it.


Resetting passwords of disabled accounts:
------------------------------------------
For this event, the Help Desk staff (517-432-6200) has the ability to
provide PIN numbers (required to reset disabled passwords) to any faculty or
staff member that has had their account disabled after their identify can be
confirmed. Students who no longer remember their PIN can click on "request
my pin" at http://netid.msu.edu" for information on obtaining their PIN.
