Ransomware gang BYOD claims Michigan State University cyber incident
The BYOD ransomware gang has posted a claim that appears to match a security incident prompting campus-wide action at Michigan State University. The group was previously linked to an October attack on the University of New Mexico.
University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center hit by cyberattack, classes and clinics disrupted
The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, which includes UNM Health, reported a 'cybersecurity event' on Monday 26 October 2026. Systems were shut down, clinics and appointments were cancelled, ambulances were diverted to facilities in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and classes in medicine, nursing and pharmacy were cancelled for a second day. Hospital appointments and clinics return to normal on the second day, though nonessential staff were asked to stay at home. The university notified state and federal law enforcement, brought in external partners and activated an Emergency Operations Center, but has not described the nature of the attack.
