Update: Cybersecurity 18-02-21: University of Amsterdam

University of Amsterdam

Education and research at the UvA and AUAS are currently experiencing very little hindrance from the cyberattack: all systems are online and available for use.

It is now apparent that the UvA and AUAS have been attacked by professional hackers who are looking for financial gain. In response, there was quick and adequate action from the UvA and AUAS Security Operations Centre who detected the hack early, and intervention by the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).

The CERT is now examining all the servers and systems that are used by the UvA and AUAS in order to get a complete picture. This will take at least several days to complete.
