City Times Media Co-Editor-in-Chief David J. Bohnet sits down with CTM staffer and cybersecurity major Venkateswar Vadlamudi to discuss the ongoing cyberattacks on the San Diego Community College District’s network.
Vadlamudi shares his insight on cybersecurity and what students should expect in the coming days.
City College classes continue with some exceptions despite the lack of internet and intermittent phone service.
SDCCD Chancellor Greg Smith detailed a separate attack with the district’s learning management system, Canvas, in an email to the district, but reported there was “no evidence personally-identifiable information was compromised.”
“You may have heard of a cybersecurity incident impacting our learning management system (LMS), Canvas,” Smith said. “This is a completely separate event from the cybersecurity issues our district experienced and which have led to our network outage.”
As of Tuesday, May 5, the City College campus is open, but many offices, including financial aid, health services and student services are closed.

Thank you for your continued patience and work to mitigate the negative impacts on classes and services.”
City Times Media continues to report on this ongoing story affecting City College and the entire district.
