Stanford University says the personal information of 27,000 individuals was stolen in a ransomware attack impacting its Department of Public Safety network.
While Stanford has not attributed the September incident to a specific ransomware operation, the Akira ransomware gang claimed the attack in October, saying they stole 430Gb of files from the university's systems.
The incident followed an April 2021 data breach after the Clop ransomware leaked documents stolen from Stanford School of Medicine's Accellion File Transfer Appliance platform.
