Frustration mounts, questions raised over possible cyber-security breach at five Louisiana schools

“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." “

“"I wish they'd be more direct," said Shelby Oliver, a graduate student in the sociology department. Oliver said that although not being able to communicate with all of her instructors is worrisome, she's mostly concerned about what type of information has been threatened to trigger the response. “
