Why it matters

The exposed data reportedly includes names, national identification numbers, university email addresses and academic status of students and faculty. National ID numbers enable fraud and targeted attacks against the academic community. The actor claims the flaw used in the intrusion remains active, suggesting risk of further leaks.

What to do

Investigate anomalous access to the databases, confirm whether the samples contain real institutional data and identify the source system. If exposure is confirmed, activate the incident response plan and notify affected people and the relevant authorities in Colombia.
