York University recently experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the theft of personal information. YorkU said that in October, an “unauthorized actor” gained access to online forms that had been in use for a “wide variety of university business” from 2007 to this year. YorkU said that it moved quickly to contain the incident, but that some information was stolen and that affected individuals should be vigilant against suspicious communications. “The University is committed to learning from this incident and will continue to strengthen its cybersecurity posture, incident readiness, and safeguards for personal information,” read a YorkU release.
