Vanderbilt UniversityNov 2026
Not yet quantified
AAttested
Vanderbilt was fighting active ransomware on November 9, ordering the whole campus to shut down university devices and get off its WiFi. The university has named no entry point, no data, and no count. The BYOD gang claims over a million Social Security numbers, research data, student and employee records, and the domain controller itself. When the only safe instruction is to unplug every school laptop at once, the network was built around one over-subscribed domain.
