A hacktivist with a “political agenda” broke into Columbia University IT systems and stole “targeted” student data in recent weeks, a university official said Tuesday.
It is unclear how long the hacker was in university systems but a Columbia spokesperson said there has been no threat activity detected since June 24. Last week, the school said it was investigating a cyberattack and the university’s website and other systems were intermittently offline.
