Bluefield University

Bluefield discovered that there had been unapproved access to their network due to a cybersecurity breach that exposed corporate data.

Staff members, pupils, and parents of some students were impacted by the assault. Due to Bluefield's failure to notify the community to withhold important or personal information until the system was protected, the TA was able to obtain additional access and steal more data, as reported by DataBreaches.
