QLD University of Technology Ransomware Attack

GroupSupport is monitoring a ransomware attack reported by the Queensland University of Technology (QLD UOT).

Late in December 2022 QLD UOT reported a ransomware attack that encrypted data and caused their printers to print ransomware demands out until they ran out of paper.

The Federal Department Education is aware and the QLD UOT is following its cyber breach plan to deal with the incident.
