It does not appear to be a cyber attack. I could be wrong, but it looks like a simple DNS server outage.

Along with power being out on campus, several dorms are out, traffic lights are out, no street lights. Tulane, lsu and southeastern. Hacked and held hostage


Take the above with a huge grain of salt because I’m assuming my wife got it from the LSU parents page which can be less reliable than Facebook or the next door app.

Surely LSU has redundant DNS servers. Could be a DDOS of some sort targeting the DNS infrastructure.

I don’t know about LSU but SLU basically told our oldest to go home today because of whatever’s going on.
