The University has detected an indicator of compromise, prompting us to proactively bring down our campus internet system to operationalize security features. A total of five colleges and universities are conducting similar activities: UNO, LSU Agricultural Center, Nunez (Cont.)

Community College, River Parishes Community College and Southern University at Shreveport. We are working closely with the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, as well as the Louisiana State Police, to address the potential threat.

As a result, the following network systems on UNO's campus that will be impacted include: campus internet, Wi-Fi, UNO email, Moodle, Workday, and PeopleSoft. The systems will be brought back online as soon as possible. To ensure that all students, faculty

and staff receive the latest information, updates will be provided through Privateers Alerts and UNOs social media platforms. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Keeping our campus safe is our top priority.

University of New Orleans @UofNO
The situation is being closely monitored, and teams are working diligently to restore network services soon. This is all of the information currently available for release.

seems to be a continued, targeted attack against higher ed internet systems

several Louisiana school systems have already been hit and are still getting back up to speed

Southeastern was hit a month ago and systems are mostly back online but some things are still being figured out there

The mistake most people make is thinking the outages are the work of the hackers. In reality, it’s the last thing the hackers want. It means they were detected before they were able to act. This is hard to believe, but it is very true: Louisiana’s ESF-17 is one of the world’s most advanced cyber defense units.

Hackers like colleges because security is usually weaker and they are more likely to pay a ransom.

They took the internet down to try and contain things, not because the hackers took the internet down.
