  <title>University of Copenhagen breach exposes data of 525,000 people · updates</title>
  <link>https://pwn.watch/i/university-of-copenhagen-breach-525k-oct-2026</link>
  <description>Hackers broke into a University of Copenhagen (UCPH) test environment, detected on October 20 and disclosed on October 23. The university says they obtained data on about 525,000 people: full names, Danish national identity (CPR) numbers, work and home phone numbers and personal email addresses. ID card PIN codes for about 20,000 staff and students were also compromised and have been reset. On October 26 UCPH shut down Workzone, Nimbus and other administrative systems as a precaution; it first called this a new attack, then said on October 27 it is linked to the original intrusion. UCPH says there's no sign the attackers reached systems that support day-to-day operations, and it hasn't said who was behind the attack.</description>
