ALVSCE Web Server IT Security Incident

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Good Morning Division,

UITS is investigating a security incident that occurred on our web server yesterday afternoon. The offending website, a WordPress site, was detected and quickly brought down by our in-house CCT staff. While evidence shows that the incident was isolated to that specific Wordpress site, UITS is remaining cautious and wants to perform a deeper dive analysis. To do this, my team will need to bring down several AES, Extension, and CALES websites during their investigation. I know the business impact this has on our Division, and I deeply apologize for this inconvenience. UITS' security team will provide an update in six hours, and I will relay more information then.

Cheers,
Matt
