An unprecedented attack on the ICT systems brought education and research there to a complete standstill at the time.

Door een ongekend grote aanval op de ict-systemen lagen het onderwijs en onderzoek daar volledig plat. De UM zag geen andere oplossing dan bijna twee ton aan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2020\/02\/17\/maastricht-university-pays-ransom-money-from-its-own-private-funding\/\">losgeld<\/a> te betalen.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defence<\/h2><p>Has a ransom demand been made in Amsterdam? That was certainly the hackers\u2019 intention, but \u201cit hasn\u2019t come to that, at least not yet\u201d, according to UvA. After the attack in Maastricht, a special security centre was set up and a computer emergency response team was established. In addition, users now often have to go through multiple steps to log in. A spokesperson for HvA talked about a \u2018line of defence\u2019 in university magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.folia.nl\/actueel\/143780\/update-cyberaanval-op-uva-gericht-op-financieel-gewin\">Folia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And this line of defence seems to be doing a good job: education and research have so far experienced only minor disruption from the attack. ICT staff are working on this round the clock behind the scenes, UvA <a href=\"https:\/\/student.uva.nl\/content\/mededelingen\/2021\/02\/update-cybersecurity-22-02-2021.html?origin=mBrqTRJ9ROujigotlCwhLA\">reported<\/a> in an update.<\/p>\n<p>However, the institutions warn that phishing emails with fake measures against the hack are currently circulating. These emails ask students and staff to check their accounts or change their password for security reasons.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infect<\/h2><p>An investigation into the cyber attack is underway, which is why neither of the institutions is willing to give further details at the moment. However, they do emphasise that there is no connection with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2021\/02\/17\/science-financier-nwo-shut-down-by-hackers\/\">recent hack<\/a> of the Dutch Research Council (NWO). This has also been confirmed by the research financier itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were messages circulating calling for email attachments and files received from NWO to be discarded as a precaution because they could infect other systems or computers\u201d, a spokesperson explained. \u201cBut these incidents are unrelated. What is happening now at UvA and HvA has nothing to do with our hack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She cannot say much more at the moment either. NWO, like UvA and HvA, has launched an investigation and has published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwo.nl\/veelgestelde-vragen-over-hack-nwo-netwerk\">list<\/a> of FAQs.<\/p>\n\n\t<div
