University of Phoenix Data Breach – Class Action Investigation

Ahdoot & Wolfson is investigating a potential class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals whose personal information may have been compromised in the recent data breach at University of Phoenix.

University of Phoenix is an Arizona-based online university that provides higher education degrees and programs to students across the United States. It recently disclosed a significant cybersecurity incident that exposed sensitive data of millions of individuals. According to reports, the breach involved unauthorized access to its Oracle E-Business Suite platform, a financial application environment, potentially affecting nearly 3.5 million people nationwide. The incident was linked to a zero-day exploit in Oracle EBS, with the Clop ransomware group claiming responsibility. Early indicators suggest the breach occurred in 2025, with suspicious activity detected on November 21, 2025, leading to the theft of consumer data by a malicious actor. This event highlights the vulnerabilities in educational institutions’ data handling practices, where extensive student and applicant information is managed.

Information potentially disclosed in the breach includes Social Security numbers, financial records, names, addresses, and other personally identifying information (PII). The potential disclosure of highly sensitive PII in this breach raises serious concerns about identity theft, phishing scams, and other forms of fraud. Our firm is reviewing claims to determine if University of Phoenix failed to implement adequate security measures to protect consumer data, in violation of federal and state privacy laws.
