College of Eastern Idaho hit by malware attack

The College of Eastern Idaho released a news release on Monday announcing that malware had been introduced into the school’s “network environment” last week. While the school is still working to eliminate the malware from its network, it has not found any evidence of a student or staff data breach.

While the CEI Information Technology team worked to contain and monitor the threat, they discovered that the malicious actor had escalated the cyberattack and launched a Trojan horse attack on the school.
