Application Password Reset Required
May 30, 2014
Original Email: http://internal.usgs.gov/gio/ito/memos/20140513_exter_email.html
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is requiring all uses of the Google apps for Government (GafG) Application Password be changed, due to the HeartBleed vulnerability.
As you can see from the notice below, other Interior Bureaus are beginning to communicate this message.
The USGS is approaching this issue in the following manner:
1 – As per this email, I am asking all IT Specialists and all Google Guides (who have 60% of the mobile devices) to change their GafG Application Password immediately, but no later than May 30, 2014. This will assist GREATLY in USGS meeting the DOI requirement.
2 – Later next week, the USGS will send a communication to all other GafG Application Password users, alerting them of the DOI requirement and asking them to change their password, prior to May 30, 2014.
