Nottingham University Data Breach Under Criminal Probe

Hackers known as the Shinyhunters breached the University of Nottingham’s student records system in late May, exposing passport numbers, bank details, and addresses for over 450,000 students. The university didn’t discover the breach until June 9th, and by June 12th, confirmed it had triggered a criminal investigation. Data has already surfaced online, and victims report scam calls. Legal experts warn affected students may pursue compensation for financial loss and emotional distress. The university is cooperating with police and regulators, including the Information Commissioners’ Office and NCSC, while working with the third-party vendor managing the system. More details are expected as the investigation unfolds. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
