HAMMOND, La. — State cyber security teams, the state police and the campus IT department continued to bring computers systems back online at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond.
The school took down the college’s computer network 11 days ago after noticing some sort of cyber incident.
As of Tuesday, the SLU email system and website have been restored.
The campus Wi Fi and online learning platform “Moodle” are still offline.
SLU spokesman Mike Rivault told WWL-TV, “the teams working on things are making good progress, but we are also ensuring we balance speed with safety.
Rivault also said he could not comment on whether this was a cyber-attack or whether any personal information has been compromised. He also would not say if SLU received any sort of ransom demand.
There is no timetable for when all systems will be restored.
“Working as fast as we can make sure the system comes back online safely,” Rivault said.
