Dartmouth Data Drama: Clop Gang’s Ivy League Heist Exposes Sensitive Info
Dartmouth College fell victim to the Clop extortion gang, who exploited an Oracle E-Business Suite vulnerability. The data breach affected at least 1,494 individuals, but the true impact could be far greater. Dartmouth’s spokesperson was unavailable for comment, likely busy pondering if a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio could help solve cybersecurity issues.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Clop gang has taken “school spirit” to a whole new level by enrolling in Dartmouth College’s data servers! One wonders if they’re angling for an honorary degree in cyber mischief. Instead of ivy-covered walls, this Ivy League institution now has data leaks covered in dark web goo. Perhaps it’s time for Dartmouth to add “Cyber Defense 101” to their curriculum!
Key Points:
- Dartmouth College suffered a data breach via a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite.
- 1,494 individuals had personal information, including Social Security numbers, compromised.
- The Clop ransomware gang is behind the extortion, targeting multiple high-profile organizations.
- This incident is part of a broader campaign affecting various institutions, including other Ivy League schools.
- Voice phishing attacks have also been targeting Ivy League schools recently.
