The details of about 280,000 students throughout Israel were leaked after a cyberattack targeted the AcadeME company, which services a number of colleges and universities throughout the country, last week.
AcadeME helps hundreds of thousands of students find jobs at thousands of companies.
A pro-Palestinian Malaysian hacker group known as “DragonForce” claimed that it hacked into AcadeME last week, stating “THE LARGEST AND MOST ADVANCED STUDENT AND GRADUATE RECRUITMENT NETWORK IN ISRAEL Hacked By DragonForce Malaysia” in a Telegram message on June 20.
