Danish technical university DTU hit by data breach

Original: 🤖 DTU (Technical University of Denmark) breach: attackers used compromised credentials to log into DTUBasen, its IAM sys

Attackers used compromised credentials to log into DTUBasen, the Technical University of Denmark's identity and access management system, exposing records of up to 200,000 users spanning more than two decades. Reported leaked data includes Danish personal ID numbers, names, addresses, work details and next-of-kin contacts, raising concerns about identity theft and the university's credential security.

Why now: A large-scale breach exposing sensitive personal data, including CPR numbers, of hundreds of thousands of current and former DTU users.
