BCC Investigating "Ransomware Encryption"

According to CBS 12 in Providence, Bristol Community College is investigating a “ransomware encryption” incident. In a statement sent to students, faculty and staff last week, the college said it discovered that someone gained unauthorized access to its network on or around December 23. At this time, there’s no evidence that any personal information was accessed or stolen but said student accounts, financial aid and email, among other online services, are temporarily unavailable as the investigation continues.
