Has Southeastern Louisiana University’s computer system been hacked or did the entire system simply crash?
No one really knows because the administration of SLU, the state’s third-largest public university, has been strangely quiet on the disruption, which has thrown the entire campus into a state of chaos.
The school’s wi-fi, card dorm key readers, Moodle, LeonET, email, and all other SLU computer systems went down around 2:30 p.m. on Friday and stayed down through the weekend and into Monday.
Because of the outage, students were unable to complete assignments, unlock the doors to their dorm rooms, access or send emails, or do laundry. Other campus activities were affected as well, including admission to all athletic events.
The only word from the administration consisted of a couple of announcements saying that the school was “working to restore all systems” on a “significant cybersecurity incident,” but there was no official explanation as to what caused the outage.
Meanwhile, with midterm exams fast approaching, students expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of communication from the administration. “If there are answers out there,” said one student, “we students aren’t getting them because our emails aren’t working.”
