La Sapienza University in Rome has been offline since February 2 due to a confirmed ransomware attack that disrupted booking of exams, access to tuition/payment systems, and other administrative services. University teams, law enforcement, and the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency are investigating; media attribute the attack to a Russian-linked cybercrime group called Femwar02 using a Bablock/Rorschach ransomware strain, and technicians are assessing the scope and backup integrity before restoring systems.
