flag MSU falsely alerted campus to active violence during a test, causing panic and distress.

flag Michigan State University issued a false emergency alert on February 10, 2026, mistakenly warning of an "active violence incident" on campus during a routine system test, causing widespread panic. flag The alert, sent via multiple channels, was corrected one minute later but discrepancies in messaging and delayed updates left recipients confused. flag The error occurred just days before the third anniversary of a 2023 campus shooting, intensifying emotional distress among students, staff, and families. flag University leaders acknowledged the mistake was due to human error, not a system breach, and apologized for the harm caused. flag MSU plans to improve safeguards, review authorization protocols, and evaluate its alert software to prevent future incidents.
