Hackers acquire info on current and former students and staff at Savannah College of Art and Design

“- "ccording to Avos Locker, SCAD was attacked approximately two weeks ago, and a large amount of data was exfiltrated. Unlike some ransomware attacks, the college’s network was not encrypted; only data was exfiltrated." - "The files appear to consist of routine college business such as personnel-related files and student files with personal information. Many of the filenames contained descriptions that included people’s names and clues as to the content of the files (e.g., passports, payroll-related information, bank statements, personal statements, recommendation letters, etc.)" - "Many of those records were the kind of minor infractions to be expected among college students. Still, it is unfortunate that names were attached to incidents in some cases, and in other cases, one could figure out the student involved because other tables contain their name paired with their student ID and student number."“
