Medizinische Universität Innsbruck

The Medical University of Innsbruck fell victim to the Vice Society ransomware gang in a cyber attack last week.

The gang targeted IT services and caused disruption and stole data and leaked an extensive list of documents allegedly stolen.

The leaked data contained the university's letterhead, lecturer signatures, and other authenticity elements.

The university immediately worked to restore its online services and returned operations to its main site which was shut down due to the attack.

The university also reset the account passwords and called everyone to go through a manual process of personally collecting their new credentials.
