Michigan State cyber incident claimed by ransomware gang behind recent hospital attack

The BYOD ransomware gang claimed responsibility for a security incident at Michigan State University, following their October attack on the University of New Mexico. The breach triggered a campus-wide response at Michigan State.

Why it matters: Universities and their students, staff, and researchers face data exposure and operational disruption from ransomware targeting academic institutions; security teams should assess whether their organization may be in scope or shares similar vulnerabilities.
