University of Pennsylvania Confirms Data Stolen in Breach

🔒 The University of Pennsylvania confirmed attackers used compromised credentials obtained via a sophisticated social engineering identity impersonation to access systems supporting development and alumni operations. The breach, discovered October 31, allowed exfiltration of approximately 1.71 GB of documents from SharePoint and Box and an alleged copy of a Salesforce donor marketing database of about 1.2 million records. Penn has engaged the FBI and CrowdStrike, revoked access, increased monitoring, and warned its community to be cautious of phishing and suspicious outreach while the investigation continues.
