University of York hit by cyber-attack – personal details of students and staff may have been stolen

Posted on July 22, 2020 by Dissent

Daniel Willers has coverage on the Blackbaud ransomware attack, noted previously on this site:

The University of York has launched an investigation after personal details of students, staff and alumni may have been stolen by hackers.

It said Blackbaud, which provides a customer relationship management system for the university, was hit by a ransomware attack in May 2020. However, it only informed the university on July 16, while the university only shared details of the breach yesterday (Tuesday).

The cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from a number of their clients, which included the University of York.
