U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer asked the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today (Oct. 29) to investigate the recent string of cyber attacks targeted at the Central New York Regional Information Center and other RICs across the state.
Schumer spoke from the CNYRIC at our Thompson Road Campus, saying, "Although there has been no breach of confidential and personal information related to students and employees to this point, an immediate, thorough and swift DHS investigation can help ensure this information will remain safe."
The CNYRIC is aggressively taking all possible measures to ward off future cyber attacks, including the installation of a new cyber-security system that will provide backup access to the internet. Please read more about the history of these attacks and their impact in Sen. Schumer's detailed news release.
