In September 2023, Thomas More Hogeschool experienced a distributed denial‑of‑service attack that overwhelmed its computer systems. The attack did not result in any data theft and caused only minimal disruption to teaching and learning activities. Existing security measures functioned as intended, allowing a swift return to normal operations and prompting the college to file a police complaint to investigate the perpetrators.
