Compulsory password change

At the end of last week, a cybersecurity incident was detected at the PCB and because of this it is essential that all users of the Park change their password as a preventive measure through the following link.

Specifically, a third-party exposure of the password of a user of a company located in the Park was detected. Once the password had been obtained, access via VPN was registered with this account.

In collaboration with the Catalan Cybersecurity Agency, the PCB IT service initiated the necessary protocols and mechanisms to determine the scope of this incident immediately, taking the necessary preventive and corrective measures to guarantee the integrity of the computer systems provided by the PCB and to be able to inform users of the preliminary results in more detail.

The deadline to update the password is Tuesday, March 28. After this period, any passwords which have not been updated will be disabled. If for some reason you have not had time, you can request a new password to be generated from sic@pcb.ub.es.

Although there is plenty of time, we ask you not to leave it for the last minute to avoid any setbacks in receiving the new password.
