The National College of Ireland and the Technological University of Dublin have announced that ransomware attacks hit their IT systems.
NCI is currently working on restoring IT services after being hit by a ransomware attack over the weekend that forced the college to take IT systems offline.
"NCI is currently experiencing a significant disruption to IT services that has impacted a number of college systems, including Moodle, the Library service and the current students' MyDetails service," the college announced on Saturday.
In a subsequent update following the April 3rd ransomware attack, faculty and staff were notified that IT staff and external service providers are working on restoring the services.
The Tallaght campus of the Technological University Dublin was hit by the ransomware attack on Thursday morning and has impacted both IT systems and campus back-ups.
"Disruption to some ICT systems on Tallaght campus but secure remote access to key services is available," TU Dublin says in a notice on the university's website.
