Unauthorized Access of SciFinder

CAS has recently communicated with universities worldwide about a widespread and growing problem of unauthorized access to SciFinder. Because this problem has ramifications for CAS and your university, we want to ensure appropriate measures are taken to protect your university's access to SciFinder.

CAS is dedicated to assisting you to prevent unauthorized access of SciFinder.
