Tennessee State, Southeastern Louisiana universities hit with cyberattacks

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Dissent

On March 2, Jonathan Greig reported:

Two universities in Tennessee and Louisiana are struggling with cyberattacks that have crippled campus services and left students scrambling to find alternative tools.

Tennessee State University — a public historically black land-grant university in Nashville — notified its more than 8,000 students on Wednesday that its IT systems were brought down by a ransomware attack.

[…]

The attack on Tennessee State was preceded by another cyberattack on Monday affecting Southeastern Louisiana University, which initially reported network issues five days ago.

On Tuesday, the university confirmed in a statement that the incident was a cyberattack. The school did not respond to questions about whether ransomware was involved but noted that it had taken the entire campus network offline “as a preventative measure.”

As of yesterday, Southeastern Louisiana University has still not been really transparent about the incident, but as DataBreaches first reported on infosec.exchange on March 1, a source with knowledge of the investigation informed DataBreaches that yes, this is a ransomware incident and the BianLian ransomware group that is responsible for it.
