Italian university La Sapienza goes offline after cyberattack

**Executive summary:** La Sapienza University in Rome has been hit by a ransomware attack (reported by media as Rorschach/Bablock linked to a group called Femwar02) that forced an immediate network shutdown, took systems and the website offline, and disrupted services for students; university technicians, Italian CSIRT, ACN and Polizia Postale are restoring systems from reportedly unaffected backups while the risk of data exfiltration and extortion remains.
