From the Daily Princetonian: Three lawsuits have been filed against Princeton over concerns about the handling and protection of personal data after the University disclosed a cybersecurity breach in November. On Dec. 5, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) released a follow-up update concerning the cybersecurity breach that occurred earlier last month. The breach involved an individual accessing a University Advancement database, with information about students, faculty, alumni, and donors potentially at risk. The University confirmed there was no direct evidence any sensitive information, such as social security numbers, passwords, or credit card information, was leaked. Faculty and staff received additional information on how to avoid “phishing” attacks and maintain the security of University systems...
An order by Judge Robert Kirsch on Dec. 9 consolidated the three cases into a single master lawsuit... University spokesperson Jennifer Morrill wrote to The Daily Princetonian that the University “believes these claims are without merit, and we plan to contest them vigorously.”
