What has happened?

The Lancaster University data breach incidents involved two cyber attacks that have led to the potential exposure of personal and sensitive information for a number of students and applicants.

One of the attacks is understood to have affected 2019 and 2020 applicants, and the following information may have been exposed:

• Names;
• Addresses;
• Email addresses;
• Telephone numbers.

The second attack reportedly involved the student records system, and information which includes identification documents may have been exposed.

In the wrong hands, this kind of information could result in theft and cases of identity fraud.
