“Two days after the University of New Orleans announced a campuswide internet shutdown in response to a possible threat to their cyber security system, students and staff are expressing frustration over a lack of answers. “
“On Friday, the university announced that it and four other colleges — River Parishes Community College, Southern University at Shreveport, LSU Agricultural Center and Nunez Community College — would be working "diligently to restore network services soon." “
“Louisiana State Police and the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness are assisting the schools in the investigation. State police issued a statement saying the universities took action after its Cyber Crime Unit "found potential indicators of compromise within the networks." “
“UNO relayed the news after 6 p.m. Friday evening and said it would provide updates via social media and Privateer alerts, but the school community is raising questions about possible compromises to personal and financial information. “
