Changes to security posture (limited impact), 1/5/2026 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Type: Announcement
Period: 1/5/26 8:00 am - 1/5/26 11:00 am
To improve our security posture, UNM IT is implementing the following changes on 1/5/2026:
-Block access to additional, sensitive applications from Tor/other anonymous proxies
-Lock ~12,000 person accounts that are not MFA capable (i.e. not enrolled for MFA) and created prior to August 2024
No significant outage or impact is expected. Logs indicate there is little/no legitimate access to sensitive applications from Tor or other anonymous proxies currently. The accounts in scope to be locked are not active accounts (i.e. no sign ins to UNM online services since ~2020).
The possible impacts include:
* Access to UNM sensitive applications from Tor or other anonymous/VPN providers will be blocked - affected users must disconnect from anonymizers when accessing UNM sensitive application (affected users will receive an error message indicating that upon access). This block has been enforced for M365 services since 2024 - this is just expanding coverage to a couple of other applications
* If you registered your UNM NetID before August 2024 and have not enrolled for MFA (in other words, you have not logged in to any UNM online services), your account will become inaccessible until you contact the UNM IT Service Desk to unlock it.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to secure our identities and services.
