They demanded a ransom of exactly that amount, which we were never going to be able to pay,&#8221; Hewitt <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jisc.ac.uk\/news\/ransomware-attack-how-one-college-pulled-together-to-rebuild-and-recover-29-oct-2020\">told Jisc<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The college, which has around 5,000 students and is based on Scotland&#8217;s east coast, had to tell all students and staff to reset their passwords after rebuilding the IT estate. At the time a student told us: &#8220;I got in on Friday but couldn&#8217;t get any material out [from college servers]. Loads of my class are worried in case the Graded Unit has been lost, with no way to directly contact college or IT bods&#8230; loads of classmates are in panic mode in case work has been compromised or vanished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hewitt, who at the time of the attack was vice-principal in charge of IT, explained how the college had obtained the NCSC&#8217;s Cyber Essentials certification, which provides a measure of cybersecurity assurance, barely months before the ransomware criminals got in. Even a fake phishing exercise designed to raise staff awareness didn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/11\/06\/shutterstock_norwich.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"norwich housing Norfolk\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Same people who killed Travelex and revenge-published personal data when ignored.

As he told Jisc: &#8220;I remember that at 02:20 on Saturday morning [the day after the attack] it dawned on me that, in a digital sense, there was no college; everything had been wiped.
