The ransomware attack on the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College network, first reported on June 13, has been resolved.<\/p>\n

After determining that the compromised data most likely contained personal information of approximately 28,000 individuals, the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> made the difficult decision to negotiate with the threat actors in order to protect the individuals whose sensitive information might have been compromised. A significant consideration in this decision-making process was that the criminal entity responsible for the attack has a documented history of publicly posting the stolen personal information of individuals when agreement with the impacted entity was not reached. Working with an external team of cybersecurity experts, 东精影业<\/abbr> reached an agreement with the threat actors to destroy all of the information it illegally obtained.<\/p>\n

Restoration of Hawaiʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr>\u2019s IT<\/abbr> infrastructure is in progress. The wireless network at all locations has been restored, while the restoration of the wired network is expected to be completed by the week of August 14, 2023.<\/p>\n

Notification Letters<\/h2>\n

Notification letters are being sent to approximately 28,000 individuals, which will include an offer of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through Experian. Current and former Hawaiʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr> students and employees who do not receive a notice letter in the mail but believe they may have been affected, may call 1-833-627-2706 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., PDT<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n
