<div class="">Dear Australian ALMA users,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I received this message from ESO last night about ALMA services.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">We wanted to inform you about an unfortunate event at the Joint ALMA Observatory in Chile. Last Saturday the observatory suffered a cyberattack on its computer
systems. This has also been published in an announcement on the ESO website today: </span><a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/pCh7COMKzVTAnq6xQhES67N?domain=eso.org/" class="">https://www.eso.org/public/announcements/ann22014/</a><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">
<br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">
<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">The attack did not compromise the antennas or any scientific data but it has forced the suspension of astronomical observations, left the observatory with limited email services, and the
website as well as some user services are offline.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">

<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">At present it is not possible to estimate a date for a return to regular activities.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">
