Since Thursday, several educational institutions, including UT, are experiencing technical issues due to various DDoS attacks on the SURF network. See also the news about this on SURF's website. These issues manifest themselves, for example, in the slowness of the network - both VPN and Eduroam.
SURF is taking various actions to minimise the impact of the attacks. As UT, we are closely monitoring developments and are constantly looking at what is needed to protect our systems.
Be prepared
Given that the attacks may be ongoing, it is important to be prepared for any continuing or worsening effects. For instance, make sure that you also continue to access documents that you will need for your studies and work in the coming period, should access to the online environment be unavailable. This can be done by storing them locally on your own PC.
We will keep you informed of the situation on the website and service portal. In case our website is also offline, you may find updates on www.utwente-is-offline.nl.
