Institution Targeted by Malicious Online Cyber Attacks
Atlanta, GA – [20th February 2025] – Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS) receives recent incidents of malicious cyber attacks that have resulted in the sudden removal of our official Facebook page. The team is actively working with Meta to resolve this issue and restore their presence on the platform.
During this period, ACLAS has also been subjected to a significant influx of anonymous and harassing emails, which have severely impacted our daily operations. Furthermore, they have received unreasonable demands to provide free education, with threats that failure to comply would result in further reports against our social media presence. These acts of harassment have disrupted our ability to engage with students and prospective learners, creating undue obstacles in our mission to provide accessible education.
“Our commitment is to provide an accessible education for everyone. We will not be intimidated by individuals attempting to exploit or undermine our mission,” said John Smith, Head of Admission Officer of Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
It should be noted and emphasized that Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is officially accredited by EAHAE, QAHE, CPD, and other recognized accrediting bodies. The team remains committed to delivering affordable, high-quality education to students worldwide.
“We do not tolerate defamation, blackmail, or any form of malicious attack. If these activities continue, we will consider taking legal action to safeguard our institution’s integrity and protect our students, faculty, and stakeholders,” said the Dean of Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Dean continues, “Education should be a force for empowerment, not a target for manipulation. Please stay informed through our official website and verified communication channels. Your continued support and trust in ACLAS during this time are greatly appreciated.”
The announcement will be made until further notice.

This is very serious, I thought I was blocked on Facebook. You need to take serious security measures. Please, seek regional and national accreditation to curb this menace. They may thought your institution is a scam since you are not accredited by the above mentioned accreditating bodies. Prove them wrong and let them also know that you are credible.
