An entire network shutdown remains in place at St. Francis Xavier University, following an attempted cyberattack last week.
According to the university’s alert system, IT Services is still working on re-establishing services, including network accounts.
“While work continues, you may be prompted to enter your St. FX network password,” the alert reads.
“Please ignore this request until further notice.”
In a statement to students and staff Thursday, the university said an investigation was launched after its IT Services team recognized “odd activity” occurring within the St. FX network environment.
