Cybercriminals used ransomware to disable the technology systems at New York’s Monroe College, according to Inside Higher Ed.
They locked Monroe students, faculty and staff members out of the college’s Learning Management System, Blackboard and email system, and are now demanding about $2 million in Bitcoins.
Monroe officials are working with the FBI and local law enforcement officials to investigate the ransomware attack and resolve the incident.

They are evaluating the Pain Threshold.
