To prevent a possible hacker attack, Heilbronn University has cut off the Internet connection. This situation will likely continue for a long time.
The University of Heilbronn has cut off the Internet connection until further notice “for reasons of cybersecurity”. In doing so, they want to prevent a possible cyber attack. The university announced it on Saturday evening.
Therefore, there are currently limitations to accessibility and virtual services of the University for students and employees. This state of affairs will most likely continue after the weekend. However, the study can take place on site.
The university wants to create replacement systems
According to a spokesman for the university, anomalies were detected in the system as early as Friday. Internal and external experts are currently analyzing the processes and planning all the next steps. They are also working on “creating temporary replacement systems”. As more results become available, the university will provide information via its social media channels on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Just a few weeks ago there was a cyber attack on the city’s “Heilbronner Voice” newspaper.
