School's out as ransomware attack downs IT systems at Scotland's Dundee and Angus College
A further education college in east Scotland has been struck by what its principal described as a cyber "bomb" in an apparent ransomware attack so bad that students have been told to stay away and reset passwords en masse. Dundee and Angus College told students not to turn up after the ransomware seemingly downed the entire institution's IT systems. This includes classes for college students, school pupils, evening classes and also means student interviews will not take place. However, all students are required to reset their passwords before they can access College systems such as MyLearning. Dundee and Angus College has about 5,000 registered students. A student affected by the attack told The Register: "We cannot access any college systems... the intranet that contains learning resources for all course materials has been offline for some since Thursday."
