Personalized Scams

(https://www.sans.org/security-awareness-training/resources/personalized-scams)

OUCH! is the world’s leading, free security awareness newsletter designed for the common computer user. Published every month and in multiple languages, each edition is carefully researched and developed by the SANS Securing The Human team, SANS instructor subject matter experts and team members of the community. Each issue focuses on and explains a specific topic and actionable steps people can take to protect themselves, their family and their organization.

ITS has received a number of reports from individuals who are finding that Banner unexpectedly stops functioning and closes in the middle of use, often with a “Service Invocation Error”.

If you are experiencing this problem, please report it to the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu including the name(s) of the form(s) you are using when the issue occurs.

To minimize the occurrence of the problem:

  1. When you are finished using Banner, make sure to “Sign Out” by clicking the padlock icon in the leftmost panel before you close the tab/window. Do NOT just “x” out of the tab/window!
  2. Please use an incognito window in Chrome (click the Chrome menu icon (3 vertical dots) in the top right corner and select “New Incognito Window” from the menu that appears. This will ensure you have a “fresh” browser experience without any old cached browser files that may cause problems.
  3. Please do not use bookmarks to access Banner. Instead type “banner.denison.edu” into the browser address bar.

ITS is working to diagnose and correct the root issue. Updates will be posted here.

For any further questions or issues, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
