“In March 2025, NYU experienced a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized actor gained access to some of the University’s IT systems. In response, NYU worked to secure its computer systems, commenced an investigation with assistance from outside cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement of the incident.”
“In compliance with the law, the University is notifying the individuals whose Social Security numbers were contained in the files involved in the incident. The notification letters describe the incident and instruct recipients about measures they can take to protect themselves from identity theft. NYU continues to implement additional measures to enhance the security of its IT network.”
