Howard University announced Monday that they are investigating a ransomware attack and canceled classes Tuesday. Now, university officials are canceling online and hybrid classes Wednesday, too. In-person classes will take place.
According to school officials, their information technology team detected unusual activity on the school’s network last Friday.
Due to the unusual activity, the school’s Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) intentionally shut down the university’s network to investigate. An alternative Wi-Fi system will be deployed on campus, but won’t be available until Wednesday.
