The Minden-Bad Oeynhausen Adult Education Center encountered a significant cyberattack on January 22, 2024, targeting its server structure.
Swift response measures were implemented, including the isolation of the existing server system to halt the attack’s progression.
To ensure a comprehensive recovery, an internal crisis team, backed by external IT experts and the data protection expert from Ostwestfalen-Lippe-IT, is diligently reconstructing the compromised systems.
Consequently, some functions of the education center are currently disrupted, hindering email accessibility.
The office in Minden remains reachable via known telephone numbers, and the Bad Oeynhausen office can be contacted through the central number 05731 86955-0 or 05731 86955-10.
Emergency administration is available at 0571 – 93419021. Although online registrations are temporarily disabled, the center’s website (www.vhs-minden.de) is accessible for updates. The exact timeline for system restoration remains uncertain, with ongoing updates provided on the website.
