Memorial University is dealing with a security issue with information technology services at its Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook.
MUN says security protocols were put in place to isolate the impacted systems. The issue is the result of a cybersecurity incident. Law enforcement has been notified.
IT services at the Marine Institute have been temporarily shut down as a precaution. There is no indication at this stage that IT services or data on other campuses are impacted.
Memorial is working with cybersecurity experts to conduct a forensic investigation to determine the cause and scope of the issue. The investigation is in its early stages and will likely take some time to complete.
MUN will directly notify any persons whose information may have been affected.
Memorial’s Emergency Operations Centre has been activated and a team of pan-university experts is working together to mitigate impacts on academic, research and administrative activities.
