WOW. That is unfortunate!

"...it's the first US college or university to shut down in part because of a ransomware attack."

"A goodbye note posted to the school’s website said that it survived both World Wars, the Spanish flu and the Great Depression, but was unable to handle the combination of the Covid pandemic and a severe ransomware attack in December that took months to remedy."
