EGI CSIRT fully commited to its duty

It has come to our attention that multiple supercomputers and other compute facilities across Europe have been targeted by malicious actors, in some instances affected by cryptocurrency mining malware. The EGI Federation and its supporting organisations deeply care about their international partners and peer infrastructures and take security very seriously.

Although so far there is no evidence EGI Federation data centres are affected, the EGI security team (EGI CSIRT) strongly believes in protecting the community and remains fully committed to its duty of supporting and coordinating on a day-by-day the EGI response to potential security incidents affecting the academic and research sector.
