University of Michigan Halts Internet During First Week of Classes

regoli writes: The University of Michigan cut off internet access and online services across all three of its campuses early this week to ward off a potential cyberattack, leaving students and faculty in digital limbo during the first week of classes. According to the story from Inside Higher Ed, "The FBI’s Detroit field office would not confirm the existence of an investigation into the attack, but the FBI is aware of the outage and prepared to provide assistance if U-M requests it, said Mara Schneider, public affairs officer at the Detroit FBI office."
