\"University<\/p>\n

The University of Phoenix confirmed this week that personal information for roughly 3.5 million people was taken in a cyber intrusion that investigators say occurred in mid-August 2025.<\/p>\n

Security reporting ties the theft to exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite<\/a>, and some outlets link the leak to the Clop criminal group.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, the data was exfiltrated between August 13 and August 22, 2025; the university detected the incident in late November and began notifying affected people in December.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s notices and reporting say the exposed records<\/a> include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, contact information and, for some individuals, bank account and routing numbers.<\/p>\n

The exact fields vary by person; the mailed letters the university is sending spell out what was exposed for each recipient.<\/p>\n

University officials say they have engaged outside cybersecurity firms and law enforcement, and they have begun mailing notification letters to people affected.<\/p>\n

The institution is offering one year of identity-protection<\/a> and credit-monitoring services to those notified and has signaled it will cooperate with authorities.<\/p>\n

The breach has already prompted legal interest: several law firms and class-action trackers have opened investigations and are soliciting potential plaintiffs who say they were affected.<\/p>\n

The university and outside investigators have described the technical cause as the exploitation of an Oracle E-Business Suite flaw; reporting links the incident and subsequent posting of stolen data to known patterns used by the Clop group.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s notification letters remain the primary source for individuals to confirm whether and exactly what information was exposed to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
