3 -A few users have reported issues in saving OnlyOffice edits to the Drive of a collab.
3 +On the 14th of May 2020, several High Performance Computing centres across Europe suffered a cyber-attack. The attack affected the infrastructure which hosts multiple HBP and EBRAINS services. As a precaution, and in order to ensure the continued security of the HBP and EBRAINS services, all users with an HBP and/or EBRAINS user account are requested to change their password, both in Collaboratory 1 ([[https:~~/~~/collab.humanbrainproject.eu>>https://collab.humanbrainproject.eu]]) and Collaboratory 2 ([[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu]]).

5 -We are looking into this. At the time being, it seems that a small number of files are locked by the Drive which prevents OnlyOffice to update these files when they are edited online.
5 +The current passwords were deactivated in Collaboratory 1 on May 26. Please request a new password by clicking //Forgot password// at the login prompt.

7 -We are actively trying to correct the problem as promptly as possible.
7 +Users logging in to Collaboratory 2 starting May 27 will be asked to reset their password.

9 -==== The temporary workaround ====
9 +Select a password that you do not use on other accounts and that cannot be easily guessed by someone knowing your other passwords.

11 -When you open a file in OnlyOffice:
11 +Select a password sufficiently long and complex with a mix of lower case, upper case, digits and punctuation.

13 -1. check if other users are editing the same file. The count appears at the top right corner.
14 -1. perform a trivial edit and save
15 -1. if you are the only user with that file open, you can trust the presence/absence of a warning message from OnlyOffice
16 -1. if multiple users have the file open simultaneously, you can:
17 -11. choose to trust the first user who opened it to have checked, or
18 -11. check in the Drive the timestamp of the file that you just saved
13 +Remember that you are responsible for protecting your password. Do not write your password in clear form.

20 -OnlyOffice will notify you when you try to save a file and the save fails. If that happens:
15 +Thank you for your cooperation.
21 21  
22 -1. read the message
23 -1. use File > Download as ... > docx or pptx or xlsx to save the file to your computer
24 -1. close OnlyOffice. (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)**DO NOT KEEP LOCKED FILES OPEN IN ONLYOFFICE.**(%%) It would mislead others.
25 -1. rename the file by adding (% style="color:#3498db" %)//**_UNLOCKED**//(%%) at the end of the filename, before the extension
26 -1. upload the file with its new name
27 -1. work on this new file
