"Michigan College Cancels Classes, Events Because of ‘Cybersecurity Incident’"

A cybersecurity incident has caused Lansing Community College to suspend classes, events, and other activities for Thursday, March 16th, and Friday, March 17th.  The college made the announcement on March 15th and said that the cancelations were “in response to an ongoing cybersecurity incident” but gave few other details about the problem.  The college noted that they do not know everything yet, and communication is going to be very challenging once the network is disconnected.  The college asked that college employees not work, with the exception of the police department, IT, payroll, incident management, facilities, and academy and aviation personnel.  They also advised that people affiliated with the college not “attempt to come to campus or use any LCC equipment.”  College officials said they are working with the FBI, the college’s cyber insurance response team, and the state police Michigan Cyber Command Center to investigate and resolve the situation.  The college stated that they currently have no indication that employee or student personal or financial information has been compromised.
