I was a Rutgers student when this was happening. I recall some final assignments and exams getting canceled when they attacked the Rutgers network.

When the news broke about the perpetrators behind Mirai and specifically the Dyn attack, I was shocked that such a high-impact attack originated from one of my classmates in the CS department.

I was a student at the same time, and if memory serves correctly, the school's authentication server was down for multiple days at a time. This is a requirement to log into pretty much anything on campus. I remember being unable to access Canvas to download assignments and notes or read professor announcements.
