Rutgers University

Rutgers suffered from a data breach incident that exposed 1,700 students personal information.

Students in the computer science department were impacted by this breach, which exposed data such as Rutgers I.D. numbers, cumulative GPAs, and Spring 2018 class schedules.

All pupils whose information was disclosed were informed of the mistake and given the assurance that their information had not been altered.

To ensure that this kind of error does not happen again, the pertinent security policies have been reviewed and modified.
This data did not contain private information like Social Security numbers, residences, or financial details.
