The University of Victoria’s website is back online after a global cybersecurity issue prompted the university to take its website and personal web hosting services offline. The disruption left off-campus users unable to access the university’s main website, while access to uvic.ca remained available on campus. In an earlier statement, UVic said it was waiting for a security update from system vendors before services could be restored. “We do not yet know when services will be restored because we are waiting for a security update from system vendors,” the university said in a release. The university had warned the disruption would significantly affect its community and said it was working to restore services as quickly and safely as possible.
