Louisiana State Police investigating "incident" that took down Southeastern' Louisiana University computer systems

“Louisiana State Police is investigating a "potential incident" within Southeastern Louisiana University's internet network that led to mass outages over the weekend, the university announced Monday afternoon. “

“"Southeastern recently learned of a potential incident within its network, requiring the university to intentionally take the network offline as a preventative measure," the university announced on social media. "Since then, the University is working to restore systems to normal operations as quickly and safely as possible."“

“The outage, which started over the weekend, took down the university's website, email, and Moodle, a system students and professors use to communicate, take tests and submit assignments, among other work.“

“University officials said once systems are restored, students and faculty will have to create a new password when logging in. The outages didn’t only affect academics and residence halls – the Louisiana High School Athletic Association said Monday that tickets to the girls’ state basketball tournament could only be purchased using cash due to internet outages, but that tickets already purchased online would still be redeemed. “
