Brown University had to disable systems and cut connections to the data center after suffering a cyberattack on Tuesday. The Ivy League school’s IT staff said the attack focused on the university’s Windows-based devices and asked faculty and staff to switch to computers running other operating systems, smartphones, or tablets. Since the attack hit Brown’s network, the university has brought back online most www.brown.edu websites, the library.edu domain, and listserv services. Brown’s CIO added that “employees can contact their IT Support Consultant (ITSC) to determine if their Windows machine has ‘known-clean’ status”””
