So. That happened.
It is the first day of classes for my university. The start of a new year! The day of greatest possible stress, for much of the faculty, staff, and student body!
So of course, we had a severe cybersecurity attack last night and central IT disconnected the entire campus computer system.
Today there is no network, wired or wireless, on campus. The websites are all down. The cloud services are all down, because our single sign-on authentication system is housed on campus. There are no rosters. There are no maps. There is no email unless you already had an active session going, and also cel service. There is no logging in to any campus computer (see again, re SSO).
On the first day of Fall classes. Which have gone forward any old how.
Only one of my teams can actually do anything about this, and I will be acquiring swag for them in thanks for manning the desk with locally downloaded PDFs of the class schedule so they can look up class locations for students who walk in. Or, in all likelihood, stagger in wild-eyed with panic.
So how was your Monday?
