Resolved after 14 days 5 hours, affecting OSU Websites, on September 23, 2026.
We have recovered from the security event that compromised OSU WordPress (blogs.oregonstate.edu). Several new security measures have been put in place to help prevent similar incidents from happening again. We understand the impact this may have had on those who use OSU WordPress for important web pages. Thank you for your patience while we took the steps needed to bring this service back safely. As a reminder: Even though an official retirement date has yet to be announced for the OSU WordPress service, we strongly encourage our user community to handle their web needs using OSU Drupal or other platforms like SharePoint, OSU Events Calendar, or other web hosting solution.
