Students returned to Munster Technological University (MTU) yesterday after last week’s cyberattack closed the four Cork campuses and led to a substantial amount of data being stolen by hackers and put on the dark web.

Efforts will now have to be made to sift through what information has been released, said Richard Browne, director of the National Cyber Security Centre, which has been working with MTU.
