In a recent cybersecurity incident, the hacker group GLORIAMIST has claimed responsibility for a successful breach of Science Po Paris, a renowned French university. The group announced their operation in a message to their members, stating that they have obtained access to several of the university’s databases. GLORIAMIST is demanding a ransom of $3,500 in Monero (XMR), a cryptocurrency known for its privacy and untraceability features.
In their message, GLORIAMIST issued a stark ultimatum to Science Po Paris: “In the absence of a favorable response or payment within the deadline, we will disseminate all of the data recovered to the general public. Science Po Paris has 48 hours from receipt of this message to respond to our requirements. After this period, we will begin the distribution of sensitive data.”
Founded in 1872, Sciences Po is France’s leading university in the social sciences. For nearly 150 years, Sciences Po has educated decision-makers in the public and private sectors. Sciences Po was ranked 3rd worldwide
