The University of the West Indies (UWI) says it is investigating an alert tied to potential ransomware activity. In a statement issued Wednesday, the university says there is no confirmed evidence that its information technology systems have been breached or that any university information has been leaked.
As a precaution, UWI says it activates its incident response plan and works with cybersecurity experts and regional authorities. Technical teams across the university are investigating and reviewing systems, checking for indicators of compromise, and assessing its readiness. The university urges staff and members to remain vigilant, avoid clicking suspicious links or attachments, and report any unusual system activity or suspicious messages to campus IT helpdesks.
Both outlets describe the same core development: UWI receives a cybersecurity alert involving ransomware claims and initiates an internal investigation while stressing that the breach status is unconfirmed.
