University of Colorado Boulder

The University of Colorado Boulder suffered from a data breach incident that impacted 30,000 former and current students.

The personal information included names, student ID numbers, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and genders.

CU provided monitoring services free of cost for people who were affected.

The Office of Information Technology upgraded and tested the latest version of the software, and deemed it’s no longer at risk to that specific vulnerability.
