Dear users,
We have installed patches on our systems to fix the vulnerability. The grid computing facility is again fully operational and accessible.
Kind regards, Ronald

Dear users,
In the course of last week, security experts identified 3 separate high risk vulnerabilities in the operating system used at our grid facility. We managed to neutralize the first two, but unfortunately, there is no known protection against the third one.
We have therefore decided to close the Nikhef grid computing facility, to ensure our systems remain safe. As soon as a fix is available, we will apply it and enable access to the systems again. We'll inform you when that has happened.
The storage systems remain available.
We apologize for the inconvenience, Paco.
