“A threat to the University of St. Thomas' servers led the school to shut down some of its systems on Tuesday, cutting students off from their course schedules and financial aid information just days before the start of the semester.“

“The disruption occurred after an unauthorized party tried to hack into the private university in Montrose's servers, Interim President Dempsey Rosales Acosta said in a Wednesday email to students and employees. “

“The university has not found any indication that university information was compromised, but IT teams quarantined the affected servers "out of an abundance of caution," he said.“
