The United States Department of Homeland Security is warning universities that their information-filled IT infrastructures might give hackers access to sensitive federal networks. Intruders hijacked a university’s supercomputer in early 2014, leveraging its vast capabilities in a massive electronic assault on U.S. gaming networks, according to a recent warning to American higher education from the Department of Homeland Security. DHS’s “unclassified, for official use only” memo said university networks are attractive targets for cybercriminals, adding that universities’ networks can provide access to other types of electronic facilities, including sensitive federal networks.
