Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Cabrillo College Data Breach Investigation, regarding a breach that impacted approximately 18,163 individuals and their personal information.
On May 14, 2024, Cabrillo College identified suspicious activity on its computer network. Cabrillo College subsequently conducted an investigation, which uncovered that a cybercriminal had stolen the files containing the personally identifiable information of Cabrillo College students or employees stored within the affected computer systems from May 12, 2024, through May 14, 2024. Cabrillo College has not specified what information was involved in the data breach yet, but we know that individuals’ full names were disclosed, likely in combination with other sensitive information including Social Security numbers.
Cabrillo College Data Breach
Cabrillo College recently provided notice of the data breach to its website. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Cabrillo College data breach, in previous cyberattacks, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received.
