Medusa Ransomware group claim attack on Open University of Cyprus

Last week, the Open University of Cyprus (OUC) released an announcement about a cyberattack that had occurred on Monday the 27th of March, that resulted in several central services and critical systems going offline. Following the announcement, the Medusa ransomware group released a posting on its data leak site listing the Open University of Cyprus as a victim.

The group has demanded that the university pays $100,000 with a deadline of 14 days to respond to the ransom demands. To prove the claims of the group, they published data samples which included student lists with personally identifiable information, financial details of research contractors, and more.

“As a precaution, access is not provided to the University’s eLearning Platform, Employment Portal, the Portal for applications of prospective students, and other critical systems that mainly concern the University community,” – OUC announcement.
