NJCU will offer complimentary identity monitoring for the potentially affected individuals.
New Jersey City University’s computer network was struck by a cyberattack by a ransomware group that is threatening to release sensitive personal data of students and staff if it doesn’t receive $700,000 in Bitcoin by Saturday.
. “In response, we immediately notified law enforcement authorities, took steps to secure our computer network, and conducted a thorough assessment of the matter to determine what happened and how it may affect information that was stored on the network.” The university, which did not identify the hacker, said the “unknown actor” copied “certain files” between June 4 and June 10. The school will email any individuals potentially affected and those who think they have been affected can reach out to the university.
“Individuals are encouraged to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing their financial account statements and monitoring their free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors,” the university said in its post.
