SFA student, faculty communication system being restored
NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - After this week’s cyber attack, SFA is working to restore their systems.
The school issued a release saying that one of the first services to be restored is Brightspace by D2L, which is used for class materials and communication between students and professors. SFA is urging members to attempt to access the service periodically.
This comes as an update after the cyberattack the school suffered on Monday, which resulted in the universities connection to the internet being severed in defense. Since ensuring that it was safe to come back online, the school has been communicating over social media, and has reportedly been working to restore their services.
The release said that faculty and students should use Brightspace to communicate as the school’s IT team works to bring other resources back online.
Chief marketing communications officer, Graham Garner said as of Wednesday, there has been no indication of access to sensitive personal information.
“We continue to make good progress. Everyday is encouraging. It doesn’t mean there hasn’t been obstacles encountered along the way or they haven’t been difficult. So far so good, and we are expecting to getting closer to getting services back up and online,” Garner said.
University orientations begin Thursday and contingency plans are in place for those sessions.
