Saint Xavier University last week started notifying over 210,000 individuals that their personal information was compromised in a data breach in July 2023.
The incident was discovered on July 21, 2023, but the investigation into the matter revealed that the unauthorized access to the university’s systems occurred weeks before.
Between June 29 and July 18, SXU says, the attackers downloaded certain files from its systems, including files containing personal information.
According to the university, the review of the compromised data was thorough and time-consuming and was followed by significant efforts “to enrich necessary address information and reconcile the records to further the notification assessment and process”.
