This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at **Life University**, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information including names, dates of birth, student identification numbers, tax identification numbers, and Social Security Numbers.   ## What Happened? A recent report from the Vermont Attorney General's office states that the [**Life University**](https://www.life.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/LU-Substitute-Notice-20240925.pdf) data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident that compromised portions of the institution's network. According to official sources, the breach initially began on July 30, 2024, when **Life University** detected unusual network disruptions across their IT systems. In response to these disruptions, the university took containment measures by disconnecting affected systems and engaging external cybersecurity specialists to conduct a thorough investigation. While this investigation continues, **Life University** has confirmed unauthorized access to sections of their network containing confidential information of students and possibly faculty. The compromised data includes highly sensitive personal information such as: - Full names - Dates of birth - Student identification numbers - Tax identification numbers - Social Security Numbers [Data breach letters](https://ago.vermont.gov/sites/ago/files/documents/2025-04-02%20Life%20University%20Data%20Breach%20Notice%20to%20Consumers.pdf) were sent out by **Life University** on April 2, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific categories of personal information that may have been exposed during the security breach.   ## Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach 1.
