REGINA—The University of Regina is dealing with a privacy breach after three of its computers were compromised in a cyberattack last week. Kim McKechney, executive director of communications, says staff immediately isolated the problem and eliminated it by removing those computers from the university network. A digital forensic expert will look through the data that is potentially at risk, determining what information was accessed. There’s no evidence that any personal information has been used maliciously as a result of the breach. But McKechney says given that it’s “within the realm of possibility,” they are taking the situation very seriously by doing a thorough followup investigation.
