2013 Higher Education Cyber attacks size record is set

Higher education cyberattacks rarely put at risk large amounts of personal data in comparison with other fields of human activity. However, in the April 2013 security breach, the personal data of 2.4 million current and former students and employees of the Maricopa County Community College District was compromised. Soon after the breach, FBI notified the district about the data found on a website offering the stolen records for sale.
