<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here at Drexel we had a hack of 4 users account on Sunday, and the accounts were used to download massive numbers of articles from ACS. ACS subsequently blocked
our access through our EZProxy IP address. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I just got off the phone with Richard at ACS about this, who let me know that many universities had user accounts hacked in the same way, and this breach was
affecting several other publishers as well. I was surprised I hadn’t seen any traffic about the issue on this listserv – has anyone else been blocked by ACS or another publisher in the last few days for excessive downloading?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">FYI – ACS says they are not unblocking any IP addresses until they have the issue resolved, at which time they’ll email all their affected customers about reinstated
access. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
