Saint Louis Community College

St. Louis Community College suffered a data breach after more than 5100 students and employees had their personal information accessed via a phishing scam.

Cybercriminals targeted employees and students through “a series of email phishing attacks” which ultimately gave them access to data stored in employee email accounts.

The leaked information included names, personal and work cellphone numbers, college email and personal email addresses, dates of birth, and addresses.

Even 71 people had their Social Security numbers compromised as well.
