Students may not have received any new emails from LLCC faculty and staff from March 12 to 18.
Ben Roth, director of systems and IT infrastructure, said there was a threat to Microsoft Office 365’s firewall. He said the problem was coming from a different IP address.
“It’s an unfortunate problem,” Roth said.
He said there was no “internal” problems between Lincoln Land faculty and staff members’ emails.
He said the college had updated its firewall during spring break. He said this update was to help Office 365 better manage its network trafficking and visibility.
Roth said there was a call to the IT help desk earlier this, reporting the problem. They then investigated and found the problem.
Roth said the college is now using Microsoft Office Manager. He said this should recognize problems quicker.
