The BCcampus team continues to work diligently to restore all affected systems as quickly and safely as possible. As of February 26 at 8:00 p.m., key services including opentextbc.ca, and pressbooks.bccampus.ca are intermittently available to read. We are still restricting the editing of books to prevent any work from being lost. BCcampus IT Support and our web host continue to monitor the situation.

What We Have Learned:

Our investigation has determined there is no evidence that customer data has been misused
Our web host is working to improve security measures to protect from future outages

What You Need to Do:

When the sites are working, we advise you to download offline copies of books from opentextbc.ca and pressbooks.bccampus.ca in case the sites go down again. We also encourage you to take virtual snapshots of books you are interested in by using web.archive.org.

Next Steps:

We remain committed to transparency. We will share another update tomorrow, or sooner if important information becomes available. This page will continue to be updated: Pressbooks Cybersecurity Incident.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we resolve this situation.

Thank you for your continued trust.

Sincerely,

P.S. If you do not wish to receive these email notifications, please let us know at support@bccampus.ca.
