NYU Data Breach – Class Action Investigation

Ahdoot Wolfson is investigating a class action lawsuit against New York University (NYU) following news that it suffered a massive data breach.

According to public reports, information potentially disclosed in the data breach consists of NYU admissions data for 3 million people since at least 1989, including:

• names
• test scores
• majors
• demographic data
• city and zip codes
• citizenship status
• details of financial aid
• application rejection status
• personal information about applicants’ siblings and parents

NYU’s failure to protect sensitive information may violate state and federal laws, including privacy laws.
