Since Monday, impossible to connect to the websites of three of the engineering schools of the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse.

The public establishment was the victim of a large-scale cyberattack on the evening of September 12, with a ransom demand.

No Internet therefore, and access to software and data is impossible for students and teachers.

"All Toulouse INP services have mobilized to guarantee the continuity of our training and research activities on all of the establishment's sites", specifies this Wednesday the management of the INPT who filed a complaint.



It is not the first institution of higher education to be targeted by a cyberattack.

Last March, Enac had suffered the same fate and the big schools seem to be more and more victims of these ransoms.
