MTU IT Breach Update – Monday 13 February 2023
We are pleased to report that students and staff have returned to campus and that the resumption of in person teaching on campus is now successfully underway. We thank all of our students and staff for their patience, support and co-operation during this time while we work to restore the affected IT services.
We are continuing to review and investigate the incident and, in particular, the release of data on the ‘dark web’ so that we can provide any persons affected by this incident with further updates and guidance where necessary and as soon as practicable.
In the meantime, we recommend any person potentially affected by this incident to follow the official advice and recommendations on the prevention of fraud from the National Cyber Security Centre and the joint guidance of An Garda Siochána and the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland. Copies of these are linked below or are available on the websites of the National Cyber Security Centre and the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland.
You should also be vigilant of any suspicious communications. If you are concerned about any suspicious transactions or activity on your banking or credit card account, please contact your financial institution directly to discuss.
We are continuing to work with all relevant State agencies in relation to this matter and are taking all possible steps to address and mitigate this incident.
