Stanford University announced that the personal information of 27,000 individuals was stolen as a result of a September 2023 ransomware attack. The University also disclosed that only one system was breached, namely the "Department of Public Safety" network. The data included biometric data, dates of birth, social security numbers, government IDs, passport numbers, and driver's license numbers.
American Express released a notification to its customers, informing them of a third-party data breach, placing 'some' customer information at risk. Despite the breach, American Express ensured that its systems remain secure, is taking measures to address the issue, and will constantly monitor the integrity of its accounts for fraudulent activity.
