According to foreign media reports, a hacker group named “Team GhostShell†announced on Twitter that the organization recently invaded servers in 100 universities around the world, and stole nearly 120,000 account information and made public the information.
The hacker group stated that their intrusion into the servers of these schools was not for commercial or malicious purposes. It was just to cause the university to attach importance to security issues. The hacking organization announced that they discovered that many servers had already harbored malicious software and the security awareness was very weak. The purpose of their actions is to increase the public's attention to the university's information security issues and to criticize current issues such as education policies.
The servers of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, Harvard University in the United States, Stanford University, Princeton University, and Tohoku University in Japan, University of Tokyo, Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Osaka University have all been invaded.
Security company Identity Finde analyzed data from hackers and found that the data contained 36,000 e-mail accounts. About 10,000 data contained names, telephone numbers, addresses, birthdays, marital status, ethnicity, etc., but there was no credit card or ID number. Bank account and other sensitive information. The passwords of some accounts are still in the Hash encryption state, but most of the passwords are in plain text.
The company believes that the compromised server may be subject to typical SQL injection attacks and data leakage, and the servers being attacked are located in branches, and the central network system of these universities may not have been compromised.
