哥伦比亚大学已开放窗口，允许受该校去年数据泄露事件影响的个人就1610万美元和解金提出索赔。
University has opened the window for individuals impacted by the school’s data breach last year to claim part of a $16.1 million settlement.
该校于9月同意就此事引发的拟议集体诉讼达成和解，受影响个人有资格获得信用监控、身份盗用修复服务和现金赔偿。根据发送给受影响者的通知，索赔截止日期为2027年1月21日。
The university agreed in September to settle a proposed class action over the incident, with affected individuals eligible for credit monitoring, identity-theft restoration services and cash payments. Claims are due Jan. 21, 2027, according to a notification sent to people affected by the breach.
该和解源于彭博社最先报道的一起网络安全事件，该事件泄露了数百万人的信息，其中包括大学申请者。通知称，被泄露的数据包括社会安全号码、地址、人口统计信息、金融账户详情、学业记录和医疗信息。
The settlement stems from a cybersecurity incident first reported by Bloomberg that exposed information belonging to millions of people, including university applicants. The compromised data included Social Security numbers, addresses, demographic information, financial-account details, academic histories and medical information, according to the notification.
根据5月提交给州官员的信息，这所位于曼哈顿的大学估计约有310万人受此次泄露影响，高于去年约87万人的数字。哥伦比亚大学一名官员在8月表示，“此次事件中受影响的数据类型因人而异，因此并非每个人都必然受到每一种数据类型的影响。”该校周五表示，未发现任何证据表明此次网络攻击出于经济动机，也未发现数据被出售或在暗网上传播。
The Manhattan-based university tallies roughly 3.1 million individuals affected by the breach, up from last year’s count of about 870,000 individuals, according to information filed with state officials in May. A Columbia official said in August the “data types affected during this incident differed for each individual, so that not every type of data was necessarily affected for every person.”The university said Friday it had found no evidence the cyber-attack was financially motivated or that the data was sold or distributed on the dark web.
在哥伦比亚大学于2025年6月发现该事件后，黑客继续攻击该校的常春藤盟校同侪，直至当年年底，留下了一连串数据泄露事件。
After Columbia discovered the incident in June 2025, hackers continued to strike the university’s Ivy League peers through the end of the year, leaving behind a trail of data breaches.
根据得克萨斯州总检察长的数据，宾夕法尼亚大学的一起数据泄露影响了44万人，达特茅斯学院的另一起泄露影响了9.9万人。这些大学向州官员提交的报告显示，泄露内容包含社会安全号码和财务信息。
A data breach at the University of Pennsylvania affected 440,000 individuals and another at Dartmouth College affected 99,000 individuals, according to data from the Texas Attorney General. The universities’ reports to state officials indicate the breaches contained Social Security numbers and financial information.
