The Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences was the subject of a cyberattack.
As soon as the IT infrastructure irregularities were identified, the university's crisis team was promptly engaged.
The university shut down its entire IT infrastructure after becoming aware that public institutions all throughout the nation had previously been the target of cyberattacks.
As a preventative precaution for security concerns, damage analysis was initiated with the assistance of IT security professionals. The necessary authorities have been alerted.
Which systems can be restarted at what time is currently impossible to say with any certainty? The first program to reconnect to the network will be the online education platform Ilias.
