In March 2025, New York University (NYU) suffered a data breach when its website was compromised for over two hours by a hacker protesting alleged race-based admissions. The attacker published data from over 3 million applicants dating back to 1989. NYU restored the site, launched an internal investigation, and began notifying affected individuals. At least 10 class action lawsuits have been filed. Although much of the data was redacted, it reportedly included names, email addresses, test scores, GPAs, geographic locations, financial aid details, ethnicities, and, in some cases, Social Security numbers.
