A ransomware attack on February 2 crippled the University of The Bahamas, disrupting all online systems—including email, classwork platforms, and administrative applications—across its three campuses serving 5,000 students. Online classes were canceled, deadlines extended, and credit card payments halted (only cash accepted). Telephone systems remained offline for days, forcing reliance on temporary mobile numbers. The attack may have compromised personal information, prompting password resets for students. While in-person classes continued, the university implemented a phased network restoration with enhanced security. The incident follows a broader trend of ransomware targeting Caribbean institutions, with nearby Turks and Caicos hit just weeks prior. No gang claimed responsibility, and the university did not disclose ransom demands. Recovery efforts involved law enforcement and cybersecurity experts, but operational disruptions persisted for nearly a week, affecting students, faculty, and administrative functions.
