LLCC account geofencing

In order to improve security on our computer network, geofencing was activated for all LLCC accounts last spring.  Geofencing blocks access to LLCC accounts outside of the United States. If you are traveling outside of the country and need access to your LLCC account, let the Help Desk know to have geofencing deactivated for the duration of your travel.

Most account attacks come from outside of the country. Geofencing is a good measure to block those attacks and reduce the number of compromise accounts.
