The company discovered the data breach on October 17, 2024 and information about the effects of the data breach is continuously coming to light. Georgetown University has not yet indicated the approximate number of individuals have been impacted by the breach, but the company announced that the information for Georgetown students and applicants from as early as 1990 may have been impacted. Consumer information exposed in the breach may vary but can include social security numbers, GPAs, financial aid information, disability and immigration status.

The cybercriminals responsible for the breach may have already obtained and sold the compromised consumer information. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, medical and/or government services ordered in their name, or their information being posted on the dark web.
