Princeton University Confirms Data Breach, Investigation Ongoing

Princeton University confirmed a data breach that affected its database with personal information about affiliates — including students, parents, alumni, and donors. The cyberattack comes just over a week after a hacking group targeted the University of Pennsylvania for its “vast, wonderfully wealthy donor database.”

“Our teams are working around the clock with outside experts and law enforcement to understand precisely what happened here and how it may affect your personal information,” Princeton University said.
