A criminal phishing fraud that hijacked two email accounts in the registrar's office led to the notification of Clarion University of an email compromise.
The accounts were accessed by the unauthorised person or persons between October 7 and October 10.
Data integrity and privacy protection are important to Clarion University, according to Tina Horner, communication manager.
The email hack may have disclosed 408 pupils' Social Security and/or driver's licence information.
