Hackers are trying to extort money from the University of the Fraser Valley, while claiming to hold students’ personal information hostage, according to police.
The private information of a handful of students was emailed to dozens more students, with a threat that more information would be spread if a cash ransom was not paid, Const. Ian MacDonald said.
Both the Abbotsford Police and UFV have cybersecurity experts working on the issue, he said.
This is a developing story. More information is expected soon.
