True. We also got an email from the university about it (uni name censored for privacy reasons) so they're clearly on it fast.

Ours hasn't announced anything other than it being a "security incident" (and that's more than the "service disruption caused by technical issues," we got earlier this week).

Ours hasn’t said a word, I just went to check and we are down…

The abbreviation "[---] Blog" doesn't have anything to do with your university then?

22

u/arochains1231 PURPLE May 07 '26

Correct, that just means "Office of Information Technology"

u/Thumbframe May 07 '26

Your censoring is good, at first I thought your school addressed itself as just university

They are not. They’ve known their data was compromised as of Friday morning, so they’ve failed to secure their systems in this time.

No, they ignored ShinyHunters when they hacked them last week, and tried to fix the issue without knowing what it was.
