A university has been hit by a cyber attack which affected a large number of its systems. Police are investigating the incident, which occurred at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS).
It was reported to police on Monday, after the website and majority of phone lines went down. The university is working with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Police Scotland and the Scottish Government to resolve the issue.
Many students are poised to graduate from the university next week, although it is understood this will not be affected. A statement on the university’s affected website reads: “Areas of our website are currently down and we apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.
