Upcoming Changes to OneDrive and SharePoint
Online Link Sharing
On November 9, 2020, ITS made changes to how sharing links work by default to enhance security for file sharing in OneDrive and SharePoint Online.
At the center of these changes is a change to the default behavior whenever a user shares a link or folder. The current default of "Anyone with the link" has changed to "Specific people (only the people the user specifies)." This will still allow external sharing, but reduce the chances of accidentally sharing a link that is open to the public.
In addition, anonymous external links will be set to expire after 30-days and will be “View only.”
Details about this change, including information about changes to Anonymous links, is available in the UTK OIT Knowledge Base. |

Lean 6 Sigma
The need to communicate may seem self-evident, but it’s important to make sure it’s a two-way process. Sometimes little or no feedback indicates agreement, but it can also mean your message didn’t get through to the right level or has simply been ignored.
If you need to adapt or put your ideas on hold, so be it. Delayed plans that need to be modified are better than unevaluated suggestions buried without trace.
Visit the Lean UTHSC website for more information.
Cybersecurity
“Sec_rity isn’t complete without U”
Passwords: They MUST be Hard to Guess!
No one wants to think about passwords, create new ones or remember the ones they have. But these VITAL pieces of security MUST be hard to guess. Using a season + the current year, or in this election year, a candidate’s name, makes for an easily guessed password. Our campus has been trained not to use personal information in passwords, such as your spouse’s name, child or pet’s name, significant dates, etc. However, common words should not be used also, because of the easily guessed nature of using them.
For example, a common password this year is “Summer2020” or “Trump2020” or “Biden2020”. (you see a theme?) Education accounts seem to like sports, so if someone was trying to steal passwords, they would try those and see what they can get. Bad actors, from the lone hacker to nation states, have automated tools that “brute force” attacks, trying many passwords for each username within seconds. If yours is easily guessed, they have your credentials. Use passphrases of at least three words to make a strong shield against the bad guys.
Therefore, and the final word of caution, don’t automatically accept DUO pushes on your phone if you have not originated the request. If they have your password, you still have the ability to not let them in our environment. Report these suspicious attempts to the Office of Cybersecurity at itsecurity@uthsc.edu or 901.448.1880.

October was National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
We had an exciting and informative awareness month. The ten winners of the Cybersecurity Digital Scavenger Hunt were announced the first week of November and received their Starbucks gift card. Check out https://uthsc.edu/its/cybersecurity/ncsam.php for a list of the winners and a recap of the months and the tips delivered to the campus.
The healthcare industry increasingly relies on internet-connected devices, telemedicine and digital health records to improve patient care and organizational efficiency. However, these technologies have made the industry a major target for bad actors intending to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased reliance on internet-connected devices. Citizens and hospitals alike have seen an increase in cyberattacks, such as phishing scams and data theft, and the urgency of the pandemic has only made the industry more vulnerable.
Be aware that you are a target because you are part of our community. Use what you have been taught, including:
- strong passphrases
- two-factor authentication whenever it is offered
- encrypt sensitive data including your own personal information
- how to spot a phishing attack or social engineering scam
- lock all your devices
Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart
Come Visit the Phish Bowl
A new web page has been created where the Office of Cybersecurity will post emails that are forwarded to abuse@uthsc.edu based on the relevancy of the email. The Phish Bowl is where you can check to see if an email you have received that looks phishy has already been reported.
This doesn’t mean we don’t want you to keep reporting these to Abuse, but if you bookmark the page, it can be a quick easy check. Visit often to see what has been reported, both phishes and legitimate emails, and learn what to look for in your emails.
The Phish Bowl can be found at https://uthsc.edu/its/cybersecurity/phish-bowl.php.
