The Community College of Beaver County closed its campus Monday after cyberattackers encrypted all college data and demanded ransom payments. The ransomware attack hit on the first day of spring break, blocking access to grades, transcripts, and financial information. Vice President Leslie Tennant said the IT department discovered a ransom note Monday morning, prompting administrators to lock down all computers and devices. Students and staff are banned from using laptops or logging into VPN networks, even from home. The college is working with its insurance company to identify the attackers and potentially lift the encryption. School is scheduled to reopen next Monday, giving officials one week to resolve the crisis before classes resume. **Source:** [CBS Pittsburgh](https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/community-college-of-beaver-county-cyberattack/)
