Cybersecurity: How not to Fall for a Scam?

Over the summer, there was another wave of attempts to hack into the university's network. Attackers tried various forms of phishing, with emails urging people to open a link by, for example, writing about an important salary warning in the message. A fraudulent single sign-on page was then hidden behind the link. We recommend reading the articles at the links below for details of the attacks.

Recommendations for Online Publication of Articles and Journals

When publishing online articles or entire journals, it is important to watch out for formal flaws, which are often overlooked despite being very important. For example, people often misquote a reference in a citation or forget to include licensing information.

History of CIT: E-mail at FF Celebrates its 30th Birthday

We've been using the @phil.muni.cz email box for 30 years! During that time it has undergone many changes - the most recent being its transition to O365. However, the beginnings date back to October 1992, when the Elm program was used to process mail. This was preceded by the setting up of the first server (a 32-bit Intel 386 DX, using SCO Unix 3.2) on which the staff of the then LVT managed user accounts, and where e-mail was launched in January (only in a more complicated form via BITNET, with the address looking like jméno%lvt.phil.muni.cz@CSBRMU11.BITNET). At first, moreover, the phil.muni.cz address could contain no more than eight letters, so it was necessary to choose shortened variants of names, which often looked funny.
