Network TU/e is shut down, no education on Monday

- EN - NL
TU/e has shut down its network today (Sunday 12 January) due to a cyber-attack. As a result, TU/e’s network-bound systems are or will become inaccessible for users for the time being and there will be no lectures and other educational activities, at least up to and including Monday. We will keep everyone informed of the developments via this web page and try to answer questions that may arise.

We advise everyone to consider for themselves whether it has added value to come to campus, whether or not in coordination with your supervisor or manager. The buildings and the campus will remain accessible. Students and employees can come to campus, but they cannot use network-bound facilities, such as e-mail, Wi-Fi, Canvas and Teams.

Patrick Groothuis, vice-president: "We realize that switching off the network has serious consequences, for our students, employees, but also for other parties on campus. This necessary intervention was done to prevent worse outcomes. We therefore hope for understanding, and we are doing our utmost to resolve this and have all systems accessible as soon as possible."

Our ICT experts still have access to all systems. They are currently investigating the nature and extent of the cyber-attack and are trying to get the network operational again as soon as possible. We work as carefully as possible. As a result, we expect to have the systems accessible again at the earliest by Tuesday. We will keep you updated on developments here. Monday at 16:00 we will let you know here what the situation will be on Tuesday.

At TU/e, next week is the last teaching week of quartile two, during which there will be limited teaching, such as catch-up activities and preparation for exams in the following weeks.
