Statement on attacks on high-performance computing systems
Several high-performance data centres throughout Europe are currently victims of cyber attacks. Some centres have therefore blocked the access to their computing capacity at least in parts due to security incidents to protect against (further) attacks.

Against this background, we are also taking appropriate precautions and monitoring our systems even more closely than before. Our statement and recommendations on the IT Center website provide information on the current situation.

Our opening hours over the Easter holidays
Even if the situation is not ideal at the moment – Easter is coming!
This year it is not possible to have a big get-together, but a few quiet days with our loved ones (even if only virtually) will surely bring us some fresh air and some spring mood for the following weeks.
Also at Easter the IT Center stays at home.

Changed Consulting Times at the IT-ServiceDesk

Due to the current development concerning the spread of the coronavirus and the recommendations of the responsible authorities, the RWTH Aachen University is also forced to implement further measures to contain the spread of the virus and to relieve the health care system. The common goal is to stop the further spread of the virus as far as possible and to slow down the speed of its spread.
In this context, personal counselling services are also offered mainly by telephone and online. Public traffic will initially be reduced to a necessary minimum up to and including 10.04.2020.
For our IT-ServiceDesk this means the immediate closure of the Super C location. From next Monday, the advice centres at Seffenter Weg 23 and Wendlingweg 10 will also be closed.
Of course you can still reach us by e-mail and telephone. In addition, we will adjust the times for chat support (app.rwth-aachen.de/chatsupport) from 16.03.2020 to 07:30 to 18:00.
We thank you for your understanding.
