University of Ansbach targeted by a cyber attack

On Thursday 20 October 2022, the German University of Ansbach was the target of an attack by cyber attackers. The attackers have not yet been identified and have not claimed responsibility for the attack. 

The targeted server could be isolated from the rest of the network, which prevented the attackers from doing significant damage. For security reasons, all access has been blocked for staff and students and it is not possible to connect to any of the university's computers. Virtual seminars are also expected to be partially cancelled. In view of the measures taken by the university, it is possible that this attempted attack is similar to a ransomware attack.
