The university explained that shutting down the network was a necessary precaution to prevent more serious consequences. Experts are currently working on an investigation to determine the extent of damage and whether data was stolen.
The incident came to light on Saturday when suspicious activity was detected on the university’s servers. The hackers have not yet been identified and no contact has been made with them. The university promises to provide an update on the incident on Monday.
The University of Eindhoven works closely with ASML, which actively invests in the development of ASML and trains future experts for its company. This year ASML allocated 80 million euros to the university to develop its laboratories and train graduate students.
