OVER 3M APPLICANTS' DATA LEAKED ON NYU'S WEBSITE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

This past Saturday, a hacker took over NYU's website for at least two hours and exposed the personal data of over 3M applicants in an act of hacktivism. The leaked data included names, test scores, majors, zip codes, financial data, and information on applicants' family members dating back to at least 1989. The hacker claimed to have breached NYU to expose its continued use of affirmative action after the 2023 SCOTUS ruling.
