‘Malicious Activity’ Hits the University of Cambridge’s Medical School
Multiple university departments linked to the Clinical School Computing Service have been inaccessible for a month. The university has not yet revealed the nature of the “malicious activity.”
The University has confirmed to WIRED that its systems have been impacted; that some services have been voluntarily taken offline; and while it has “contained” the incident, the disruption is ongoing and its investigations will likely take some time to complete. A University of Cambridge spokesperson confirmed the incident to WIRED, saying that “malicious activity” was found on the Clinical School Computing Service last month. We have also received third-party assurance that the incident is contained.” They say the situation has moved on since the email seen by WIRED was sent, and it is not possible to characterize the level of disruption across all departments.
