NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- Rutgers University is fighting back against computer hackers after having its networks breached at least 4 times last school year.

Rutgers now has 3 cybersecurity firms working to protect the school's computer system.

Avoiding the next cyber attack is costing the university up to 3 million dollars a year.

Paying for the firms was part of the university's reason to raise tuition this year.
