Cyberattack disrupts Stephen F. Austin State University summer instruction and online services

On June 12, 2023, Stephen F. Austin State University discovered a cyber incident and disconnected network access to contain it. The university's online learning platform, internet and email services became inaccessible or unreliable, interrupting summer courses, student-faculty communication and assignment schedules. Primary systems were restored by June 22, while some ancillary and residence-life portal functions required further recovery. The university later confirmed unauthorized acquisition of files.
