The well-known hacker group,TeamGhostShell, has targeted the top 100 Universities around the world and leaked the database, as part of an operation called "ProjectWestWind". In a paste, they have listed the hacked sites along with link to the Database dump.
“We have set out to raise awareness towards the changes made in today's education, how new laws imposed by politicians affect us, our economy and overall, our way of life,” TeamGhostShell said in the paste.
“How far we have ventured from learning valuable skills that would normally help us be prepared in life, to just, simply memorizing large chunks of text in exchange for good grades? How our very own traditions are heard less and less, losing touch with who we truly are? Slowly casting the identities, that our ancestors fought to protect, into exile.”
"After carefully filtering the ones that we've already leaked before and the ones where Anonymous has in major operations, we have eventually got together a new fresh list."Hacker explained about the dump.
"The majority of them should be here. Also, some of us decided to go ahead and add vulnerable links to the other ones anyway, which you can find at the bottom, at 'Other Universities' ".
The hacked university sites including Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford,Princeton, John Hopkinsm,Imperial College London ,University of Michigan ,Tokyo University, University of Wisconsin, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Kyoto University, University of Houston, Linkoping University, New York University and more Universities.
The database includes sensitive data including email address, passwords, name, address and more details. As compromised data is too long, hackers only published 120,000+ data to keep the leaked information to a minimum.
Hackers also claimed that a lot of sites already infected by malwares , some sites have credit card information. The full list can be found here:
