Michigan State University Network Breached In Ransomware Attack
Netwalker ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operators have reportedly breached Michigan State University's network, threatening to leak private files to the public if they don't pay a ransom in time. BleepingComputer reports: A countdown timer on the attacker's website shows that the university has about six days to comply or "secret data" will become public. The site set up by the Netwalker ransomware gang gives no details about the attack but they posted images with directories, a passport scan, and two financial documents allegedly stolen from the university's network. Information about how and when the attack happened, its impact on MSU, and the ransom demand remain unknown at this time.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
