Simon Fraser University suffered ransomware attack last spring
A ransomware attack last spring at Simon Fraser University (SFU) reportedly compromised the personal information of about 250,000 students, faculty and alumni. The bad actors breached a database that contained the personal information of every person who joined the school before June 20, 2019.
The information included student and employee identification numbers, full names, birthdays, course enrolments and encrypted passwords. Accounts were also linked to staff and retirees.
