Lumen Christi College Hacked Before Cyber Safety Session

Right before they announced a cyber safety session for parents and students, a hacker team breached the website of the Lumen Christi College in the UK, leaking the details of 15 staff members, including the ones belonging to the site’s administrator.

Principal department, science department, religious development, HP, ICT and IT department members remain exposed after their usernames, passwords, positions, phone numbers and email addresses were published in a Pastebin document by Team Intra.

According to the Ponemon Institute’s data breach worth estimation the attack will cost the school around $900 (630 EUR), reports DataLossDB.

This might not seem much, but if we think about the fact that those passwords and usernames could have been utilized to safeguard other accounts, not to mention the fact that with the admin password the hackers could have taken over the entire site, the situation is not quite negligible.
