University of Texas forced to take systems offline in San Antonio after cyberattack

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) detected threat activity on its academic campus over the weekend and responded by taking systems offline, including phones, to contain the incident across its six-campus network serving 40,000 students.

Why it matters: UTSA students, staff, and researchers face operational disruptions and potential data exposure; practitioners should monitor for credential theft, ransom demands, or supply chain impacts affecting higher education institutions.
