Hartnell College, FBI investigating ransomware attack

“Last Sunday, Oct. 2, the Information and Technology Resources (ITR) team at Hartnell College detected abnormal network activity that prompted a manual network shutdown. “

“Currently, Hartnell College is working with third-party forensic incident response specialists and federal law enforcement to investigate this incident. The college has confirmed that the nature of the reported activity is related to a sophisticated ransomware attack. As a result, parts of the network will continue to be unavailable in order to mitigate risk.“

““Once ITR noticed the suspicious activity, the team immediately took the network offline out of an abundance of caution, and to prevent any further activity,” said Chelsy Pham, vice president of ITR, in a news release Oct. 7. “
