Attack
What exactly happened?
In the night from Sunday, 1st of October 2023, to Monday, 2nd of October, Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences became the target of a cyber attack. The anomalies in the IT infrastructure were detected on the morning of the 2nd October and the university’s crisis team was immediately activated. Aware of the fact that cyberattacks had already been carried out on public institutions nationwide, the university prophylactically took the entire IT infrastructure offline on Monday morning for security reasons.

Login HKA-APP
What happens when I login to the HKA-APP?
Due to current problems with the HKA’s LDAP server, logins to the HKA-APP are currently unavailable.
So please don’t log out!
In the meantime, a “limited login” is available.
Small consolation: Many of the HKA-APP’s features are available even without registration or with limited login.
We will let you all know as soon as full login is possible again. Until then, we ask for your understanding!

- First connect to the HKA eduroam or HsKA-8021 WLAN
