University of Phoenix data breach hits 3.5M people
Fox News
The University of Phoenix has confirmed a major data breach affecting nearly 3.5 million people. The incident traces back to August when attackers accessed the university's network and quietly stole sensitive information.
The school detected the intrusion on Nov. 21. That discovery came after the attackers listed the university on a public leak site. In early December, the university disclosed the incident, and its parent company filed an 8-K with regulators.
The scope is large. Notification letters filed with Maine's Attorney General show 3,489,274 individuals were affected. Those affected include current and former students, faculty, staff and suppliers.
