New York University Suffers Data Breach Exposing 3 Million Applicant Records
On March 22, 2025, New York University (NYU) experienced a cybersecurity incident where a hacker gained unauthorized access to its IT systems, redirected its website, and exposed the personal information of over 3 million applicants dating back to 1989. The exposed data included names, test scores (SAT/ACT), GPAs, intended majors, demographic information, family backgrounds, and financial aid details. The hacker, claiming affiliation with 'Computer Niggy Exploitation', stated the act was to expose alleged race-sensitive admissions practices. NYU confirmed the incident and is working with cybersecurity consultants and law enforcement.
