Microsoft has identified a new vulnerability affecting the Outlook desktop client. Information Technology Services (ITS) has reviewed the situation and have taken the proactive measure to temporarily block the use of the Outlook desktop client on Humber Windows PCs (desktop and laptop). We have no evidence that Humber has been compromised by this vulnerability and we continue to take action to prevent a cyber-incident from occurring.  

Apple and Android products are not impacted by this vulnerability. 

You can still access Outlook on the web at humber.ca/microsoft365.
