The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has disclosed a security incident in which attackers gained access to its identity and access management system and downloaded a large volume of data. The university estimates that information belonging to as many as 200,000 users may be affected.
Identity and access management systems are central to how organizations authenticate users and manage permissions, so a compromise of this kind can have broad implications. The university has not yet detailed exactly which data fields were taken, but the scale of the potential exposure makes the incident significant for the affected individuals.
The source does not include details about the attack method or timeline. DTU's announcement focuses on the potential impact and the fact that a large amount of data was exfiltrated, leaving further specifics to follow.
